The  «Green Business  Award» comes with 25,000  francs and  will be awarded  for the fourth time at the end of September  2022. Three companies were able to prevail against their 36 competitors, including Planted, and are competing in the final in Bern for the coveted award.

The «Green  Business  Award» has been recognizing since 2019  annually  the  most innovative Swiss companies  that  combine ecological impact with economic success. In the first phase, around 20 partner organizations–consisting of environmental associations and business organizations–each nominate three of the best solutions in their industry. These are nominated for the award. From these, a preliminary jury selects the five best solutions overall with the label «Green Business Excellence». These five companies present themselves in a pitch before the main jury. The main jury, chaired by former Federal Councillor Doris Leuthard, includes 16 personalities, including Prof. Dr. Reto Knutti (Professor of Climate Physics, ETH Zurich), business journalist Patrizia Laeri and Patrick Odier (Managing Partner Lombard Odier). Three of the five «Excellence Label» winners are selected as finalists for the «Green Business Award» and one company will receive the coveted award on September 23, 2022 as part of the Swiss Sustainability Forum. Swiss Post supports the Award as Presenting Partner and pioneer for sustainability in its industry.
