AWARDS
presentation
The Sustainability Awards honour and reward the best national sustainable development practices implemented in organisations in Luxembourg in four distinct categories: People, Planet, Prosperity and Sustainability Team.
Organised by IMS Luxembourg, the Sustainability Awards aim to highlight concrete, innovative and high-impact initiatives that contribute to a more sustainable society. They encourage the sharing of best practices, promote collective learning and support organisations in their transition to more environmentally, socially and economically responsible models.
The 2026 Sustainability Awards are open to any organisation operating in Luxembourg, regardless of its size, sector or legal status. The practices presented must have been implemented and demonstrate tangible results.
Registration opens on 12 February 2026 and the deadline for applications is 11 June 2026.
The awards ceremony will be held on October 5 2026 and will bring together organisations, sustainability experts and stakeholders committed to sustainable development in Luxembourg.
WHY AND HOW TO APPLY?
The Sustainability Awards are open to any organisation operating in Luxembourg, regardless of its sector, size or status (public, private or non-profit).
Organisations can submit a project in one of the following four categories: People, Planet, Prosperity or Sustainability Team.
The practice presented must have been implemented and must have already produced concrete results.
An organisation may submit multiple applications, provided that a separate application is submitted for each project.
Participating in the Sustainability Awards means promoting concrete action in favour of sustainable development and giving it national visibility.
The Awards highlight practices that are already in place, strengthen your organisation’s credibility and gain recognition for your commitment from your peers. They also provide an opportunity to enhance your appeal, share your experience and actively contribute to the collective momentum around sustainability in Luxembourg.
1. People
This category includes projects related to well-being at work, youth, human rights, community engagement, training, combating excessive debt, and new forms of work organisation.
Inclusion & diversity: it is not recommended to apply for projects directly related to inclusion and diversity.
Why? The Diversity Awards, a competition dedicated to these specific themes and held every two years, will be organised in 2027.
2. Planet
The Planet category covers initiatives related to environmental protection and ecological transition, such as climate, biodiversity, resource management, waste, carbon emission reduction, energy, water, eco-mobility and the development of sustainable solutions.
3. Prosperity
This category focuses on strategy implementation, responsible production and consumption, new economic models, the social and solidarity economy, as well as transparency and reporting.
4. Sustainability Team
The Sustainability Team category recognises a team that has led and implemented a sustainable development project within its organisation, in line with one or more pillars of sustainable development.
Applications are assessed on the basis of common criteria:
the real and measurable impact of the practice
the innovative nature of the project
its potential to serve as a model and be replicated
its level of implementation
the quality of its management and governance
its integration into a sustainable, long-term approach
