"As a company that contributes to mitigating climate change with innovative technology, we were able to convince the expert jury and, as a finalist of the German Sustainability Award, we are already one of the best in the transformation field of climate with our contribution," says SMA Chief Executive Officer Jürgen Reinert. "The nomination is a great appreciation and incentive for all SMA employees to continue driving the energy transition in the future with technological innovations and solutions and our comprehensive sustainability strategy."
"Climate change, plastic waste, species extinction. Sustainability has become a question of humanity's survival," says Stefan Schulze-Hausmann, initiator of the German Sustainability Award. "Our finalists are driving the transformation and are contributing to its implementation with high ecological standards in production and special social commitment in the supply chain. Can companies save the world? A look at the DNP finalists shows how powerful their impact can be as drivers of change."
The winners of the 14th German Sustainability Award will be announced in Düsseldorf on December 3, 2021. The award is the largest and most prestigious of its kind in Europe. For 14 years, the Stiftung Deutscher Nachhaltigkeitspreis e.V. (German Sustainability Award Foundation), in cooperation with the German government, business associations, civil society organizations and research institutions, among others, has honored companies where sustainability is part of the business model. Awards are given to business players who make effective contributions to transformation with innovative products and services, high ecological standards in production or special social commitment in their value chain.
