The WeMed Award 2022, a flagship initiative that aims at giving visibility to business models that promote sustainable production and consumption patterns, will open soon.
In its second edition, the award will recognise success stories of sustainable start-ups in the textile and clothing sector in the Mediterranean Area. This edition, funded by the ENI CBC Med Programme, is jointly organised by MedWaves, the UNEP/MAP Regional Activity Centre for Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) and the Textile Industry Confederation (TEXFOR) and implemented under the STAND Up! project and SwitchMed Programme.
This year, the sustainable business models award will recognise individuals or legal entities that have integrated environmental and social values into a viable business model in the textile and clothing sector. The entity must be legally constituted in a Northern or Southern Mediterranean country (eligible areas of ENI CBC Med in Europe, North Africa and Middle East) and have a defined business plan with potential or actual environmental and social benefits.
Save the date: applications will be open on 12 September. You will find all the necessary information on the WeMed Award webpage: www.wemedaward.org.
The award, as flagship initiative of the UNEP/MAP Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development, will bolster the endeavour aiming to initiate the transformational changes needed for a green renaissance in the Mediterranean.
