On the occasion of its 50th Anniversary the Sofidel Group, founded in 1966, is pleased to announce the “Sofidel Suppliers Sustainability Award”, an annual award that aims to motivate its national and international suppliers to promote high sustainable standards. It will promote best practice and recognize improved social and environmental responsibility actions. 

The award is focused on the “TenP – Sustainable Supply Chain Self-Assessment Platform”, created and promoted by the Global Compact Network Italy Foundation (GCNI Foundation), of which Sofidel is a founding member. The self-assessment platform analyses environmental performance and was created by following the Ten Principles ("TenP") of the United Nations Global Compact. Three awards will be assigned. The Best Supplier: businesses reaching the best score on the TenP Platform; The Best Improver: businesses that have sensibly increased their result by adopting focused social/environmental sustainable procedures; The Best Sustainable Project: businesses that have carried out particularly effective social and/or environmental sustainable initiatives. GCNI Foundation, Sodalitas Foundation, SGS and WWF Italy are the Technical Committee that will evaluate the projects.

The Award ceremony will take place in Lucca on 24th of November.
