Awarding global sustainability impact for 10 years

Charlotte Bonner, Chief Executive of EAUC who delivers the awards, said:

“It's a privilege to celebrate the remarkable achievements of this year’s International Green Gown Award winners. This year we have 28 winners from 14 countries. These institutions are setting powerful examples for how to embed sustainability into every aspect of education and community. Their winning submissions highlight the breadth of innovative and impactful sustainability work taking place across the globe and serve as powerful catalysts for further sustainability action. By sharing these stories and examples widely, we can inspire more institutions to follow their lead, amplifying the impact beyond their campuses.

The commitment to driving positive change, not only on their own campuses but beyond, is a testament to the leadership and vision that will shape a sustainable future. Congratulations to all our winners and participants!”

Allianz Global Investors has supported the International Green Gown Awards for three years now and has been delighted to see engagement and participation grow over that period. Diane Mak, Head of Impact Strategy at Allianz Global Investors, said:

“Congratulations to all the winners! It has not been an easy task for the judges to select the winners among the 95 exceptional projects coming from 28 countries. Being part of the judging panel myself, I got to see the many sustainability initiatives the finalists are championing at their institutions. The level of leadership, innovation, drive and commitment demonstrated is truly outstanding. Winning the Awards is a wonderful achievement, and we wish the winners and all participants the very best
