Award for environmental protection

As the largest domestic environmental advocacy organisation, we recognise the work of the most outstanding ecological professionals each year as part of our efforts to create value. Established in 2001, the Environmental Protection Award, with the longest history in the profession, aims to draw widespread attention to the achievements made, thereby inspiring all those who work in the field of environmental protection and the environmental industry. This award is not only a tradition, but also a platform for sharing best practices and exchanging ideas.  

The professional jury recognises outstanding activities that benefit society, reduce environmental impact, eliminate environmental pollution, and promote sustainability and the circular economy model.
