In addition to the many political and strategic debates on successful paths towards climate neutrality, the award shows how energy efficiency and climate protection work successfully in practice at companies. The focus is on measurable results and innovative approaches that can be easily transferred to other companies. Four categories are awarded for projects that have been implemented. The Audience Award goes to a company with a convincing concept that shows the way to climate neutrality.
