In its third edition, the choice can be made until 11:59 pm on August 30th, and the result will be announced on September 5th, during the CEBDS Vision 2050 Seminar: The Future is Made Now, in São Paulo. Each person may vote only once. In total, 32 candidates were nominated by the public for this category.
There are four categories featuring representatives from the private sector, government, and the third sector: Associated Companies, New Leaders Initiative, Popular Vote, and Social Project. The first two categories will be judged by a jury comprised of notable women in their fields, including Ana Toni, Executive Director of the Climate and Society Institute; Luana Génot, Director of the Brazilian Identities Institute (ID_BR); Izabella Teixeira, former Minister of the Environment and CEBRI Senior Fellow for Sustainability, Climate Change, and Agriculture; and Anielle Guedes of Urban 3D.
The initiative is from the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), which represents 60 of the largest business groups in the country and promotes environmental and social sustainability based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The award aims to boost Brazil's achievement of SDG 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030.
