The annual award is an emblem that recognizes outstanding marketing, advertising, and public relations campaigns and communications designed to uplift the human spirit and society. Lisa Wellman Quote "We are very pleased to host the announcement of this year's EthicMark Award winner. The award's mission aligns with the sustainability goals of SustainCommWorld and the topics that will be discussed at The Green Media Show Conference & Expo. Having an internationally recognized group such as Ethical Markets and its leader, Dr. Hazel Henderson, associated with this event underscores the quality of this forum." Dr. Hazel Henderson Quote "The EthicMark Award's mission is to foster a transformative shift in the advertising field by demonstrating the power of media campaigns to further the public interest while furthering legitimate private interests. The media has tremendous power to shape social attitudes and values, and therefore to serve as a tool to empower individuals and society to find solutions to the pressing social, political, and environmental challenges of our times. The EthicMark Award recognizes socially responsible media campaigns by businesses, non-profit organizations, or individuals, using either the old media—print, radio, and television—or the new media—internet, cable, and wireless communications."
