The Canada’s Clean50 Honour is awarded annually to the 50 individual leaders (and small teams) who have contributed the most to enhancing sustainability and clean capitalism in Canada over the prior 2 years. Now in its fifth year, nearly 300 remarkable individuals have been recognized for their significant accomplishments and leadership. The annual Clean50 Summit brings together sustainability, policy and clean tech experts from disparate Canadian endeavors, seeking to enhance opportunities for these leaders find new and innovative ways to collaborate. These individuals collectively lead the fight against climate change and embrace a low carbon future, whilst at the same time, improving both corporate and environmental performance, and enhance Canada’s prosperity.
Honourees are selected by lead sponsor, corporate sustainability and clean tech search firm Delta Management Group, with assistance from a distinguished team of advisors, and support from sustainability champions The Globe and Mail, Hewlett Packard, The Toronto Dominion Bank , Globe Conference 2016, Bullfrog Power and Staples.Winners are chosen from over 500 nominees spanning 16 distinct categories: Advocacy & ENGOs, Angels & Investors, Cities, Building, Clean Tech, Consultants, Education & Thought Leadership, Financial & Services, Manufacturing & Transportation, Primary Resources, Public Sector, R&D, Renewable and Traditional Energy Generation, Retail & Consumer, Technology & Telecom.
Clean50 leaders come from many backgrounds. The majority, drawn from commercial enterprises, are professionals who possess a deep understanding of sustainability and how to adapt those learnings to the benefit of their organizations. And in the process, helping them to increase profit and resiliency – and become more attractive to both employees and investors. But to be successful, those organizations’ efforts need government and energy utility support, clean technology to drive down emissions, and the technical knowledge shared by academics and environmental NGOs (ENGOs). Hence the need for a Clean50 Summit – where these exemplary individuals can learn from each other, collaborate and accelerate progress.
