 The
Public Eye on Davos Awards
Oct 2004,
Every year in January, the World Economic Forum (WEF) gathers
together its business leaders and the political and world media
elite to discuss current global political issues and set trends
in the future development of global business. The international
NGO coalition "The Public Eye on Davos" has been present
at the same time as the WEF in Davos/Switzerland since 2000, to
critically monitor and to challenge their activities at an alternative
event.
Next January, the Berne Declaration and Pro Natura - Friends
of the Earth Switzerland together with other NGOs will be hosting
another"Public Eye" event. The highlight will be the
award ceremony, which will be held on the evening of 25 January
2005 in Davos. Candidates for the awards are companies who have
excelled in socially and environmentally irresponsible behaviour.
With this letter we are inviting you to nominate potential award
winners. If one of your nominated companies is chosen for an award,
a spokesperson from your organisation will be invited to Davos
with expenses paid. There you will have the opportunity to present
your case to an international audience, and generate wide media
publicity. The nomination categories and information on the publication
and choice of the award winners can be found on the information
sheet accompanying this letter. Please use the nomination form
for the presentation of your case. The deadline for nominations
is 31 October 2004. Please note that we are not only interested
in fully documented nominations, but are also keen to hear recommendations
of suitable cases. The information sheet, containing more detailed
information on the categories, process and eventual ceremony,
and nomination form are availabe at the bottom of this message.
Of course we would like to welcome you as a participant of the
next "Public Eye". You will find detailed information
