Nominate a project

Do you know of a Nordic company or a project within a company, pushing the boundaries of sustainable technology? Or is it maybe the organization you work for?

A company innovating to advance the climate agenda – ideas that can scale for even bigger impact? Or perhaps a specific project in a big company has seen the implementation of new tech or a service innovation that is reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions?

If you know of a company or project that can lead by example and be an inspiration for others - we want to hear from you.

Evaluation

The nomination will be evaluated and scored based on five key criteria.

Scalability &
Adoptability

Technological
Leadership

Green House
Gas (GHG)
Impact

Other ESG
Impacts

Business
Viability

The Application Process

To nominate a company or a project, simply use the form and give a short description of why you think the company or project should receive the Capgemini Nordic Sustainability Tech Award.

We will then contact the nominated company and ask for relevant information to assess their performance related to the criteria for evaluation. You can find more information about the criteria in the ‘Evaluation’ section above.

All applications will be initially assessed on how they meet the first three criteria of Scalability & Adoptability, Technological Leadership and Business Viability.

If they get through to the next stage, the project, product, or service will then be judged against the final two criteria of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Impact and Other ESG Impacts.
