Howard Lake | 22 February 2005 | News
The $1 million Alcan Prize for Sustainability 2005 was launched last month at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
This US$1 million prize, launched in 2004, is awarded each year to any not-for-profit, civil society or non-governmental organisation based anywhere in the world for their contributions to addressing and progressing economic, environmental and/or social sustainability.
In addition to the US$1 million prize, the adjudication panel will have the opportunity to recognise non-winning finalists by awarding Alcan Grants, redeemable for a suitably qualified senior member of staff to attend the University of Cambridge Programme for Industry in England and earn a Post Graduate Certificate in Cross Sector Partnership. The Grants will be awarded on merit and at the discretion of the adjudication panel.
