Trophy recognizes the relevance of the position signed by 119 CEOs and 14 sectoral entities, which defends a green economy in Brazil
Rio de Janeiro, October 10, 2022 – CEBDS (Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development) has just been announced as the winner of the Aberje Communication Award for publicizing the Business Positioning for the Climate. The regional trophy for the country's biggest communication award recognizes the scope of the work carried out on behalf of the business sector in defending sustainable development.
The document, released in September 2021, brings together the signatures of 119 CEOs and 14 sectoral entities calling for Brazil to embrace a green economy. Its construction began at the Council of Leaders, which brings together the presidents of associated companies, to present the business sector's vision of the country's development. In the document, CEBDS vocalizes the actions of companies and demands actions from public authorities to combat global warming.
Over the past year, CEBDS developed actions in the press that resulted in a headline in Estadão and interviews for Globo and CNN, for example; posts on social networks; meetings with ministers and governors; meetings with civil society.
The Council also presented the position of the Brazilian business sector at COP 26, the UN Climate Conference held in Glasgow, Scotland. The document was delivered by hand to the president of COP 26, the British Alok Sharma.
Aberje (Brazilian Business Communication Association) is Brazil's main reference in business communication. The entity has been holding the awards for 48 years, recognizing the projects that stood out the most in the country. CEBDS won in the regional category and is now competing for the national award with four other cases.
