It uses a methodology that was developed in the UK to find, fund and support its award winners with a mix of financial and non-financial resources geared towards fostering a sustainable business. After careful review, a shortlist will be chosen to pitch their ideas in front of the expert judges' panel.
Previous award winners include Greenpop, a social enterprise that runs urban greening and reforestation projects that gifts trees to communities in need around sub-Saharan Africa and Trade-Mark, which provides a sustainable for tradesmen from the townships market themselves to maintain a consistent stream of work, build up their own businesses and break the poverty cycle.
