GLOBAL CHEMICAL LEASING AWARD 2018
The Global Chemical Leasing Award Ceremony took place on 6 November in Vienna.
In partnership with the Austrian Federal Ministry of Sustainability and Tourism (BMNT), the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), the German Environment Agency (UBA), the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN), UNIDO brought together more than 150 participants from governments, institutions and enterprises as well as leading Chemical Leasing experts. The event was organized as part of the Green Chemistry Conference 2018 within the Trio Presidency of the Council of the European Union (EU) programme, “Smart and Sustainable Europe”, held during Austria’s EU Presidency. See the list of organizers and supporters in 2018 here.
The sheer number of 91 applications received (54 “Case studies”, 18 “Special innovation”, 19 “Research”) from 20 countries proves that Chemical Leasing is gaining momentum and is being applied in many companies worldwide and in different sectors.
Government representatives of Austria, Germany and Switzerland highlighted the importance of Chemical Leasing and the need to support policy dialogue, up-scaling and mainstreaming as well as establishing partnerships at the global level. To demonstrate their commitment to this goal, the governments of Austria, Germany and Switzerland signed the Declaration of Intent on Chemical Leasing in 2016. Having seen the results of Chemical Leasing in their countries, El Salvador, Sri Lanka and Serbia announced their interest to join this endeavour on the occasion of the fourth Global Chemical Leasing Award.
Philippe Scholtès, Managing Director, Programme for Technical Cooperation, UNIDO stated that since 2005 UNIDO moved from a Chemical Leasing implementer to a promoter and facilitator enabling countries at global level to link economic and environmental benefits through this circular economy business model.
Paul Anastas, Founder of the 12 principles of Green Chemistry”, director of Yale University’s Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering, USA, delivered the keynote showing the need for a paradigm change and the contribution of innovative business models and Green Chemistry to sustainable industrial development.
