The awards ceremony, along with a high-profile two-day sustainability conference, will take place in Düsseldorf this December. Widely regarded as Europe’s leading recognition for sustainable innovation and impact, the awards celebrate organizations and individuals driving meaningful change. 

The prizes honor transformative achievements across categories and industries such as corporate, products, architecture, healthcare, and start-ups. Focused on accelerating change in areas like climate action, resource efficiency and social responsibility, they support the UN’s 2030 Agenda and Germany’s national sustainability strategy. Winners are chosen by expert juries for their business models, product innovations, actions, and long-term vision. 

Dr. Stephan W. Schusser and Kirsten Feld-Türkis draw on years of experience in sustainable corporate governance, gained through Prophet studies, client engagements and their ongoing pro bono and committee work. 

For the selection of the winners, they will contribute their expertise in the following areas: 

Dr. Stephan Schusser

Industry: Sanitary Technology; Cement, Concrete, Building Materials; Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) 

Kirsten Feld-Türkis

Dr. Stephan Schusser said, “The DNP showcases how engineering excellence and ESG commitment within the construction industry can contribute to a resilient, future-ready economy. These awards offer a valuable opportunity to scope out what is technologically possible in the short term and what can be achieved in the future.” 

“I’m honored to support this mission that brings together some of the sector’s smartest and most ambitious teams, that are not afraid to challenge the status quo. It’s rewarding to see that so many players are finding creative ways to make sustainable buildings and construction more of a standard for Germany.” 

Kirsten Feld-Türkis said, “Year after year, I’m inspired by the vision, creative energy and executional rigor shown by the enterprises participating in the DNP. While the focus and priorities around climate action and sustainable innovation continue to evolve, the DNP remains the place where you can truly feel the powerful momentum of brilliant minds driving meaningful change. 

Travel and hospitality was one of the first industries to embrace sustainability with foresight—bringing out the best of travel by nurturing cultural exchange, taking responsibility as global citizens and creating value for local economies. I’m incredibly proud to play a role in identifying and celebrating the enterprises and leaders who pursue ESG in travel and hospitality with exceptional commitment and vision.”
