The European Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE) are now open. The awards celebrate businesses for their eco-innovation and their respect for the environment as a core business principle. And this year there is a new award category for Business and Biodiversity! This award is for a successful business model, management scheme, product and service or international cooperation which makes a significant contribution to halting biodiversity loss and supporting natural ecosystems.

To participate in the European-level competition, the business has to enter the EBAE national competitions. For more information and the competition dates in your Member State, contact your national organiser. More details about the application procedure and the eligibility rules are available here.
