Forbes magazine and the consulting firm PwC have the pleasure of inviting you to participate in the third edition of the competition “Sustainable Development Leaders”.

If your firm derives business benefits by implementing solutions – whether at home, at its clients’ or suppliers’ – which:

• protect the natural environment;
• improve energy effectiveness;
• reduce the consumption of resources, raw materials or the emission of harmful substances;
• increase consumer awareness;
• solve social problems;
• contribute to the development of lasting relationships with stakeholders (including employees, clients, the local community, investors or non-governmental organizations),

you may enter a project of your choice and get the chance to win the prestigious title of Sustainable Development Leader.

Participation in the competition is free of charge. All you have to do is enter a business project using the form which can be found on www.forbes.pl/liderzy-zrownowazonego-rozwoju. The deadline for submitting entries is 21 June 2013.

The best practices on the Polish market will be selected by a panel of independent experts.  The projects will be assessed in selected areas in terms of their social or environmental impact and accompanying business benefits.  The results of the competition will be presented in a report “Sustainable Development Leaders” which will be published in the September issue of Forbes.  We will present firms that have already achieved success thanks to developing in a sustainable manner.  We will describe the key challenges and business opportunities connected with sustainable development in Poland.
