Green Business Award
Since 2019, the Green Business Award has honored innovative Swiss companies that combine ecological impact and economic success. In the first phase, around 20 national experts nominate the best industry solutions. An interdisciplinary jury of experts selects the five best companies to receive the *Green Business Excellence* label. These companies present their concepts to a main jury headed by Doris Leuthard and other personalities such as Reto Knutti and Bertrand Piccard. Three finalists will be chosen, and the winner will be announced at the Impact Circle of Impact Gstaad on February 14, 2025.
