The registration deadline for the 15th German Sustainability Award has been extended. This is the German Sustainability Award Foundation's response to the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine and the associated burden on local companies.<\/strong><\/p>

The 15. German Sustainability Award<\/a> (DNP) is going through difficult times. The consequences of the war in Ukraine are weighing on almost all companies and tying up personnel capacities - especially in the sustainability department. Effective contributions to transformation, as characterised by the DNP, are more important than ever, and the German economy has a lot to offer.<\/strong> Due to the complexity of the situation, many requests were made to extend the deadlines for participation.<\/p>

The deadline for submissions for the Special price packaging<\/strong> is now on 6 May, applicants for the prize in the area of Design<\/strong> must submit their entries by 20 June. The deadline for submissions in the following categories is 30 June The company<\/strong>, Next Economy 2.0<\/strong> and for the special prize \u201eLocal Heroes<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>

\n\t\t\t\t\"Precisely because we can't do without packaging in most cases, we need to break new ground. Many companies are already working hard to avoid unnecessary packaging, to make reusable packaging more widely available and to return valuable raw materials contained in disposable packaging to the cycle as secondary raw materials after use.\"\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
