Because if we want to preserve our planet for future generations, then<br\/>the economy has to be part of the solution. We are delighted to have nominated 3 promising companies: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aqua4d.com\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AQUA4D<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/plateforme-la-plaine.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plateforme la Plaine<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bimetal.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kugler Bimetal SA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Meeting challenges in an environmentally friendly way without neglecting economic success? The 36 companies<br\/>nominated for the Green Business Award reveal their secrets. Nearly 20 partner organizations of the Green Business Award,<br\/>including the Federal Office for the Environment, the Solar Impulse Foundation<br\/>Swiss Textiles and WWF, selected an impressive array of innovative solutions from Switzerland :<br\/>examples include a start-up that restores coral reefs, a cloud service<br\/>intelligent cloud that records the behavior of a building, or a natural cosmetics company<br\/>that makes creams from plant residues. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>Innovation in the construction and textile sectors<\/h2>\n\n<p>From building techniques that reduce CO2 consumption to recyclable building materials,<br\/>it&#8217;s impossible to miss the large number of construction companies present<br\/>at this year&#8217;s show. &#8220;The construction sector is responsible for 38% of CO2 emissions worldwide.<br\/>&#8221; But when it comes to sustainable development, this sector has long lagged<br\/>behind the others. So it&#8217;s all the more pleasing that sustainability is seen as a<br\/>market of the future in this sector,&#8221; says Doris Leuthard, jury president and former<br\/>Federal Councillor. The textile sector is also well represented this year, with<br\/>a biodegradable substitute for polyester and a process that eliminates<br\/>harmful chemicals during manufacturing. &#8220;I&#8217;m delighted by the number of textile companies<br\/>nominated: it&#8217;s a strong and important message being sent out against the consumption of fastfashion,&#8221; applauds C\u00e9dric Habermacher, Director of Green Business Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br\/>Assessment of sustainable solutions<\/h2>\n\n<p>The selection process for the Green Business Award is unique and takes place in several stages.<br\/>A pre-judging panel awards the Green Business Excellence label to the five best companies nominated.<br\/>These five companies then present a pitch to the main jury, chaired by Doris Leuthard.<br\/>Three of these companies will be presenting their solutions on February 14, 2025 at the Impact Circle Event<br\/>organized by Impact Gstaad, in front of an audience of potential investors, with the aim<br\/>of winning financing for their growth. The winner is announced at the end of the pitches.<br\/>Jury President Doris Leuthard underlines the relevance of this award: &#8220;As<br\/>individuals, we can&#8217;t save the planet on our own: we need<br\/>the economy. So we need models to guide us.&#8221;<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>\u27a1 Discover the nominated companies on the <a href=\"https:\/\/greenbusinessaward.ch\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Green Business Award website.<\/a> <br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banana fiber fabric, solar-powered fuel or vertical factory: once again,outstanding innovations are nominated for this 6th edition of the Green Business Award.
