Two companies from Greece, which KLIMIS is the one of them, have been shortlisted for the European Business Awards for the Environment, a scheme which rewards those businesses that are making the most outstanding contribution to sustainable development through eco-innovation.

These two companies are part of a European shortlist of 22 Finalists and six Rising Stars from nine different countries, selected by the EBAE Jury which met on 28-29 June in Sofia (Bulgaria) with the challenging task of agreeing a shortlist out of 161 applications received from 19 European countries. The Finalists are up for six awards: Management (micro and small companies), Management (medium and large companies), Product & Services, Process, Developing Country Cooperation and Business & Biodiversity. They all have in common a respect for the environment at the very core of their business principles.

The winners will be announced at the EBAE Awards at 14 November in Vienna (Austria). The event will be part of the “Growth in Transition” conference, one of the flagship events of the Austrian EU Presidency. An award ceremony will be held in Athens on October 24th for the 13 companies that were distinguished in the Greek section of the competition.
