The Katerva Awards, the pinnacle of global sustainability recognition, will be held Dec. 7, 2011 at Lincoln Center in New York City. A limited number of sponsorship opportunities for these awards exist.

While the first Katerva Awards show debuts this year, Katerva is built on the expertise of the most trusted and established thought leaders on the planet. Nominee initiatives must survive a rigorous evaluation process involving 300+ recognized experts, 6 filtering phases, and 12 stages of focused review designed to find and shine a spotlight on the best sustainability efforts on the planet.

To accelerate the success of Katerva Award winners, Katerva has partnered with top organizations including Saatchi & Saatchi, Deloitte, Korn/Ferry and Frog Design, among others, to deliver in-kind support services to help ensure these global efforts thrive, grow and scale into global successes.

Select sponsorship opportunities for the 2011 Winner's Gala and Katerva Awards provide branding opportunities for organizations and individuals wishing to support change and publicly associate themselves with the most important sustainability initiatives - anywhere.
