WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award

WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award - for outstanding contributions towards a more sustainable future. WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award is one of the world's leading sustainability awards. We reward and encourage outstanding solutions to the most urgent challenges facing the world today. The award of 1 million SEK has been presented yearly since 2000 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The WIN WIN Youth Award was established in 2018 and aims to empower and reward young people who play an active role in the creation of a more sustainable future. The award is a non-profit organisation financed by members who, like us, are committed to creating a better future. The winners are appointed by an independent jury containing members with diverse backgrounds within academia, politics and civil society. The Global Goals is our guide in the selection of a yearly theme.

Yesterday, the breakfast seminar 'Banbrytande Ledarskap – förenar, förnyar, förändrar' took place at YESBOX - Home of Entrepreneurs, with participants showing great engagement in leadership and sustainability 🌍 The morning began with a breakfast mingle, followed by a lecture on transformative leadership by Johan Holmén. He emphasized that, as climate change is a reality, everyone must act responsibly, take action, and focus on solutions that benefit both humans and nature 🌱 Afterward, participants engaged in a workshop and shared their reflections on leadership. These included the necessity of creating the right conditions for good leadership, the importance of showcasing positive examples from all sectors, and the need for us to recognise how our behaviors can have a significant impact on leading the way 🧭 After the workshop, Lotta Göthe highlighted that in order to successfully lead others and build bridges across gaps, working with resistance is crucial. By listening to and understanding why resistance exists, and what lies behind it, we can foster a shared vision and create sustainable change for a brighter future. ✨️ Thank you, CSR Västsverige, for this fantastic collaboration! ✨️ Thank you all for coming, and to Brunnsbo Musikklassen, for the lovely Lucia performance! #winwinaward #sustainability #leadership

For a leader facing complex challenges, being a trailblazer is essential for forging new paths and creating sustainable solutions for a brighter future. However, trailblazing alone is not enough. A true trailblazing leader does not gain authority simply through a title or position—it is earned through vision, a diverse range of skills and qualities, and the ability to inspire loyalty within a team while uniting people under a shared vision. If you know a leader who embodies these qualities, nominate them today at: winwinaward.org/theme2025 . . . What other skills and qualities do YOU think are essential for a leader to drive sustainable change? #winwinaward #trailblazingleadership #theme2025 #leadership #socialsustainability #sustainability #gothenburg #nomination #sustainabledevelopment #complexchallenges
