As the deadline for the Baltic Sustainability Awards 2024 approaches, organizations across the Baltics are gearing up to submit their initiatives that are actively driving sustainability. With the application period closing on October 6, now is the time to take action if you haven’t already. Here’s why you should seize this opportunity and what makes the Baltic Sustainability Awards a unique platform for any organization, no matter the size.
1. Your Initiative Matters – Not Your Company Size
At the Baltic Sustainability Awards, we recognize that true impact comes from specific actions and initiatives. This is why the awards focus on assessing sustainability initiatives, not companies as a whole. Whether you’re a small startup innovating in green tech or a large enterprise implementing groundbreaking sustainability strategies, your initiative will be judged on its merit, scale, and potential.
This approach levels the playing field and ensures that even smaller organizations or niche projects are given the recognition they deserve. We understand that great ideas can come from anywhere, and this is your chance to put your best work forward.
2. EY Methodology: Ensuring a Fair and Rigorous Evaluation
The evaluation process for the Baltic Sustainability Awards is supported by EY’s methodology—a rigorous and transparent system that ensures every initiative is evaluated fairly, based on measurable impact and scalability.
EY’s approach uses a framework that looks at:
Impact potential: How does the initiative directly address sustainability challenges, and what measurable outcomes does it achieve?
Scalability: Can the initiative be scaled beyond its current scope, and what are its future growth prospects?
Innovative approach: Does the initiative introduce new solutions or strategies to advance sustainability goals?
This methodology ensures that the evaluation is objective, data-driven, and focused on the specific impact of the initiative, not the overall size or reputation of the organization.
3. Gain Recognition from 80+ Expert Jurors
With a panel of 80+ experts from diverse fields, including climate science, circular economy, energy technology, and social impact, your initiative will be assessed by the best minds in sustainability. These jurors are not only evaluating your project but also providing valuable feedback to help you improve and scale.
This is more than an awards process—it’s a learning opportunity that could help you refine your approach and gain new perspectives from leaders in sustainability. Past applicants have used the feedback to improve their strategies, attract investors, and build stronger partnerships.
4. Get Seen by Key Stakeholders
Applying for the Baltic Sustainability Awards isn’t just about competing for a title—it’s about gaining visibility within the Baltic and European sustainability community. Your initiative will be in the spotlight, seen by policymakers, investors, sustainability leaders, and innovators from across the region. This is your opportunity to network, build partnerships, and amplify your impact.
Past winners and finalists have used the platform to raise their profile, attract funding, and scale their initiatives beyond borders.
