The science journalist and ZDF/3sat presenter, Stefan Schulze-Hausmann, launched the German Sustainability Award in 2008. As organiser and founder of the Sustainability Award, he wants to improve the world sustainably and inspire companies to rethink. The annual award of the prize is intended to promote sustainable developments.
Founder of the German Sustainability Award
The German Sustainability Award honours exemplary achievements in the field of sustainability. Not least because young people put pressure on and turn facts into demands. Communication platforms such as the congress(German Sustainability Day) and the subsequent gala of the German Sustainability Award must provide answers. International experts, heads of large and small companies, top politicians and representatives of civil society will present concrete contributions on how climate change can succeed. The best examples from business, research and municipalities will receive awards.
A green gala with radiance
The German Sustainability Award is becoming increasingly coveted because issues such as climate change and resource scarcity are growing in importance.
With the charisma of the award Schulze-Hausmann not only creates external incentives for applicants. The "green" implementation of the event underlines the content and is intended to motivate imitators to make their events sustainable. After all, the German Sustainability Award is a beacon event in terms of environmental protection, energy and resource efficiency, sensible logistics and social standards. The congress and the award ceremony will be climate-neutral.
"What can I contribute?"
Stefan Schulze-Hausmann studied law, graduated with the second state examination and almost immediately started working for ZDF as a presenter. With 1,500 television programmes focusing on science, the environment and politics for ZDF and 3sat, Stefan Schulze-Hausmann is one of the most renowned German TV journalists and presenters. He deals with environmental issues out of conviction and has been asking himself since the early 2000s, especially through his moderation of the German Environmental Award, what he personally can contribute. Today, Hausmann sees a great opportunity to anchor sustainability even higher on the agenda of the global community and is happy to take responsibility with his contribution. In 2016, he was awarded the "Building Future Award" for his long-standing and multifaceted commitment to sustainability.
