Europe We know the winners of Global ESG Awards

ESG
The trophy ceremony for the Global ESG Awards took place during MIPIM in Cannes. Following 180 nominations across six categories, 6,801 public votes and 2,177 evaluations done by a global official jury committee, a ranking revealed six  winners.

The Global ESG Awards are created to acknowledge the work of companies and individuals within the construction & real estate sector. ESG considerations in construction and real estate encompass a wide range of practices aimed at reducing environmental impact, promoting social responsibility, and ensuring ethical governance. These factors have become progressively crucial for companies in these sectors to remain competitive, attract investors, and meet the expectations of a more environmentally and socially conscious market.

The Global ESG Awards are made possible by EUBIN (European Building Innovation Network), MIPIM and Paul Tech.

ESG principles are vital to our company's vision and goals. They ensure long-term sustainability and boost market competitiveness while cutting risks. Prioritizing ESG aligns with our carbon neutrality targets, attracts like-minded talent, and supports environmental and social well-being in the real estate industry.
Sascha Müller, CEO at PAUL Tech

This award finally puts the focus on the young innovation companies who are developing and offering the urgently needed solutions for the construction and real estate sector. The future readiness of our industry depends crucially on the performance of these sustainable drivers being brought even faster and more into focus.
