The cross-industry award evaluates processes from lean management as well as energy and environmental management and recognizes the most successful approaches to increasing resource efficiency throughout the company. "Resource efficiency will continue to gain in importance and will be decisive for success on the market in the long term," said Daniel Reichert, Coordinator Lean & Green at Growtth Consulting Europe, at the award ceremony. He also expressed his conviction that digitalization would bring new opportunities in almost all Lean & Green fields - as this year's award winners had impressively demonstrated.
