About the Nordic Council Environment Prize<\/h4>\n

The Nordic Council Environment Prize was first awarded in 1995 with the aim of raising awareness of work on the environment in the Nordic Region. It honours companies, organisations or individuals for exemplary efforts to integrate respect for the environment into their business or work or for some other form of extraordinary initiative on behalf of the environment. As the nomination process is open, anyone can submit nominations. A total of 53 initiatives were nominated this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
