Inspiring More Sustainability (IMS) have announced that applications are now open for the second edition of the Sustainability Awards.

The awards will honour and reward the best national sustainable development practices implemented in organisations in Luxembourg in four distinct categories: People, Planet, Prosperity, and Sustainability Team. Organisations can apply until 14 June 2024.

Participation is free and open to any organisation set up in Luxembourg, whether or not it is a member of IMS, and regardless of its size, status - private, public or associative - and its field of activity. 

How to apply? 

Applications are open from Wednesday 28 February to midnight on Friday 14 June. To find out more about the steps to apply, email: awards@imslux.lu.

Selection criteria  

Among the received applications, an independent expert pre-jury selects 12 nominated practices - 3 in each category - which are then evaluated by a jury. The 4 winning practices are disclosed during a ceremony in the final quarter of 2024. 

The criteria used for all the categories are: 

- the degree of implementation,
- the impact,  
- the innovative and replicable nature of the initiative,  
- the way the project is managed and its integration as part of a long-term approach.
