Director of The Enviropaedia and the Eco-Logic Awards David Parry-Davies reminds us that: “If we look at how the year has started, there’s no doubt that our situation is dire. However, the 2019 Eco-Logic Awards can lift us out of a pessimistic and helpless attitude about our future by identifying the people, products and organisations that give us hope because they provide real solutions for climate change and other environmental challenges that we face. We will celebrate the achievements of today’s eco-champions who are giving us the resources and creating the opportunities to build a better world to live in for ourselves and our children.”
The awards will encourage greater awareness of action taken against the impacts of urgent issues, and in doing so, generate exposure for these eco-efforts. Parry-Davies points out that previous winners of the Eco-Logic Awards have reported on benefits such as increased public awareness and credibility. “We’ve had winners experiencing boosted sales of eco-friendly products and services,” he says. “But this is not all. It’s an opportunity for community and non-profit projects to attract more sponsorship from government and corporates. It’s an opportunity to foster more community support, employee engagement and target audience buy-in.”
The ‘Glamorously Green’ Eco-Logic Gala Awards evening will be held on 5 June 2019 at the Table Bay Hotel in Cape Town.
