The ECOTECH-LEADER Award is an annual prize awarded for achievements in the development, implementation and promotion of effective environmental technologies as a key element of the ESG agenda. This year, the Organizing Committee of the Award accompanied the award ceremony with a Forum, which brought together more than 300 participants.

Russian businesses are increasingly using „green“ tools both on their own initiative and in order to comply with state priorities. Along with the strengthening of the regulatory function, the trend towards eco-responsibility is also growing. Enterprises are allocating more funds to modernize treatment facilities and reduce the negative impact on the environment. One of the key tasks of business today is to ensure environmental safety of the population and the well-being of the territories where their facilities are present.
