JURY FEEDBACK

The jury was very impressed by TRIBOO as it stands out for the highly innovative techniques that it uses for turning waste material into natural and people-friendly furniture for offices. The multi functionality of the products is clearly proven, making it an outstanding circular economy product with obvious environmental, economic and social benefits and good replication potential. Given that Triboo is a relatively new company, its long term impact has yet to be fully proven. Nevertheless, the jury believe the future of this company will be very positive, and consider it as one to watch.

THESE COMPANIES LIVE AND BREATHE SUSTAINABILITY

Marcus Gover, CEO of WRAP and President of the 2020 EBAE Jury, which met, remotely, on 23-24 June to review 94 applications from 16 European countries, said: “We need business leadership in sustainability now more than ever. Despite the difficulties caused by the COVID-19 crisis, we received a large number of high-quality entries. These companies live and breathe sustainability, and prove that green is good for business. We had very difficult decisions to make, and cannot wait to announce the winners later this year.”

WHAT IS A RISING STAR

A 'Rising Star' is a company whose application has made a particular impression on the jurors. This could be in respect of: an innovative and exciting product, service, process or management approach that is at an early stage and as yet not fully proven, that is pioneering in a national or regional context but not necessarily at a European level.
