Idea

The German Environmental Award honours commitments and achievements, that contributed decisively to the protection and the preservation of our environment. It also considers projects which promise well for the future criteria.

Criterions

The following criteria characterise the idea of the award:

• the excellent performance primarily should be of model function for other people, enterprises and organisations.

• the achievement to be awarded should contribute to recognising environmental problems early and defusing them by means of suitable precaution and applicability strategies.

• the merits should be so convincing, that an imitation effect is achieved. Accordingly, the model character and the applicability in practice should stand in the foreground.

• innovative, integrated solutions are particularly considered. Co-operation-promoting achievements of interdisciplinary character are dealt with as a matter of priority.
