13/03/2008

At the annual European Business Awards ceremony the energy company Econcern was awarded the CMS Business of the Year Award. This award is given to companies who are market leaders in their sector honouring excellent business results, innovative strategies and strong growth. The award ceremony took place on 11 March in Paris before a highly distinguished audience of European business leaders, politicians and press.

CMS Executive Partner and category judge, Robert Derry Evans said in his speech: "Econcern is just the type of business Europe needs to be creating. It has established itself as a leader in the sustainable energy sector, which is set to grow exponentially, and has innovation coursing throughout the business from product design through to business models and management. With triple digit growth numbers in a massive global sector that will continue to see exponential growth for the foreseeable future, Econcern has the potential to become one of the world's corporate giants in the next decades."

Each year the European Business Awards recognise and reward excellence, innovation and success of public and private companies of all sizes and from any sector. The programme allows the best of European businesses to showcase their achievements and benchmark their successes against companies of all types.
