WIN WIN GOTHENBURG SUSTAINABILITY AWARD

FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTIONS
TOWARDS A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

The WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award recognises and promotes outstanding solutions to the most urgent challenges facing the world today. The award of 1 million SEK has been presented annually since 2000 in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 2018, the WIN WIN Youth Award was founded to empower and reward young people who play an active role in creating a more sustainable future.

The award is a non-profit organisation funded by members who, like us, are committed to creating a better future. Winners are appointed by an independent jury consisting of members with diverse backgrounds in academia, private industry, the public sector, and civil society.

The Global Goals guide the selection of a yearly theme.
