SUSTAINABLE LEADER AWARD

Sustainary and the student union called FN, have worked together to deliver the Sustainable Leader prize as part of the SDG Tech Awards. The purpose of this award is to give students an opportunity to nominate Danish business leaders who contribute to sustainable development within their organization.

Why Youth?

We recognized the power youth voices have in determining our future trajectory. That is why all nominees for the Sustainable Leader prize have been nominated by FN, and the winners will be determined by votes from FN and Sustainary’s network of youth activists, students, recent graduates, and the Green Impact Week Youth Council.

The Sustainability Leaders nominated are a source of inspiration for the Next Generation, in relation to incorporating climate challenges and the UN Sustainable Development Goals into the business strategies of today and of the future. Individual efforts towards the SDGs are extremely important and can help lift other industries, leaders, and be a benchmark for the next generation’s sustainable business strategies.
