Alcan and International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) have announced the shortlist
of candidates for the $1 million Alcan Prize for Sustainability for 2007. From 155
entries from 53 countries 10 organisations have been selected.
The shortlist will
now be evaluated by the international Adjudication Panel of sustainability experts.

Dick Evans, President and CEO of Alcan Inc, said that this was the most geographically
diverse shortlist seen since the prize was created in 2004.

Alcan created the Alcan Prize for Sustainability to recognize outstanding contributions
to the goal of economic, environmental, and social sustainability by not-for-profit,
non-governmental, and civil society organizations around the world.
