Alcan Prize for Sustainability
On January 22, 2004, Travis
Engen, President and CEO, announced the creation of
the Alcan Prize for Sustainability – an annual
US$1 million award to recognize not-for-profit, non-governmental
or civil society organizations for outstanding
contributions to the cause of global sustainability.
The announcement was made at a media conference in Davos,
Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum's
(WEF) annual general meeting.
The ultimate goal of the Alcan Prize for Sustainability
is to recognize the critical role of the not-for-profit
sector in promoting and implementing economic,
environmental, and social sustainability.
Each year's winner will be selected by an international
judging panel of distinguished individuals who are recognized
for their significant contributions to sustainability
around the world. In the interest of credibility and objectivity,
Alcan has partnered with the Prince of Wales International
Business Leaders Forum who will manage the day-to-day
administration of the program.
