The 2003 Stockholm Industry Water Award

Companies that have contributed to pollution elimination or reduced freshwater consumption through innovative programs, policies, processes or products now have the opportunity to be nominated for the prestigious Stockholm Industry Water Award.

Nominations will be accepted until February 28, 2003, from businesses and industries whose resources, competencies and experiences have helped to reduce the effects of the escalating world water crisis. The Stockholm Water Foundation presents the award in collaboration with the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

The award was founded to stimulate business contributions to sustainable water development and recognizes:

• innovative corporate development of water and wastewater process technologies,
• environmental improvement through improved performance in production processes,
• new products or technologies, and
• other significant corporate contributions to helping improve the world water situation.

The award will be presented in August 2003 during the World Water Week in Stockholm.
