About the GLOBE Awards

Canadian companies face increasingly competitive business realities, in this country and globally. Companies operating in the energy, industry, transport, urban infrastructure, high-tech and manufacturing sectors encounter a host of environmental and social challenges as they seek to excel economically.

One defining feature of consistently profitable companies is their ability to prevent and mitigate environmental risks, and leverage commercial opportunities through integrating sustainability into corporate strategy and operations. There is a compelling business case for companies to make investment, technology, production and market decisions that provide sustainability benefits to communities and society at large.

Leading Canadian companies are demonstrating that the 'business of the environment' is consistent with the interests of shareholders, and leading edge corporate sustainability practices yield bottom line results.

Each year since 2002, The GLOBE Foundation proudly supports the commitment of these business leaders by recognizing outstanding achievement in environmental stewardship with the GLOBE Awards for Environmental Excellence. Considered to be the most high-profile national awards series of its type, the GLOBE Awards are judged by a panel of experts recognized in the Canadian business community.

The 2012 GLOBE Awards will be presented in Vancouver on March 16, 2012 during the Closing Luncheon for GLOBE 2012, international conference and trade fair on the business of energy and environment. Drawing a crowd of high profile participants involved in the business and environment community, the event was packed with suspense, excitement, and inspiring stories about companies on the sustainable path to success.

All winners and finalists received nation-wide media coverage, and showcased their achievements in front of their clients, competitors, colleagues and peers.

The deadline for entries of the 2012 GLOBE Awards is
January 27, 2012.
