Finalists for the 2024 Eco-Logic Awards
Entries across the 12 categories were evaluated by a panel of independent and environmentally knowledgeable executives from diverse backgrounds.
David Parry-Davies, editor of The Enviropaedia and founder of the Eco-Logic Awards, said: "While many of the entries were impressive, what ultimately led us to deciding on the finalists was decided by how well they demonstrated and reflected what we call 'eco-logical intelligence' – such intelligence is defined by seven specific ways of thinking that are beneficial for ‘people, planet and profit’. You can access these virtues of eco-logical thinking on our website.”
This year, the Eco-Logic Awards have partnered with Biomimicry SA to introduce a focus on nature-inspired solutions to human challenges. Winners will also benefit from a consultation (valued at R300 000) with the BiomimicrySA team and enrolment in their "Change Makers by Nature" programme. The programme gives participants the tools they need to lead purposefully, think systemically, and design solutions inspired by nature.
Hosted by comedian and presenter Themba Robin, the Eco-Logic Awards ceremony will be broadcast on PPL°Planet (OpenView Channel 115), offering millions of South Africans the opportunity to witness the progress being made toward a sustainable future.
From Eco-Fashion and Lifestyle to Circulation Economy and Waste Innovation, this year’s finalists embody the Eco-Logic Awards' mission to support and promote initiatives, products, and services, that contribute to a healthier, happier and more sustainable future for all.
