The goal of the Globe Sustainability Innovation Award is to discover and encourage prominent sustainable innovators. The Jury’s motivation:
”Tesla stood out among the many worthy applicants to the Globe Award for Sustainable Innovation both for its level of impact and for its approach.The Tesla Model S Sedan will be the world’s first highway-capable, mass-produced electric vehicle produced in what is planned to be the world’s greenest factory. The impact of Tesla’s effort reaches well beyond this one car – it sets the stage for a revolution in transportation that could quite literally reduce global petroleum consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by more than one third each.”
”The potential for impact is real at a global scale: First, this product establishes a platform for a massive reduction in greenhouse gasses and carbon emissions, paving the way for significant health improvements as a result. Second, by mainstreaming electric vehicle technology, Tesla has taken the lead in innovating in an industry that has been technologically dependent on 100-year-old internal combustion technology”, says Philip DesAutels.
