This year's awards programme attracted over 100 entries from across the globe, with 19 exceptional campaigns and initiatives emerging victorious in their respective categories. Winners were selected by a distinguished panel of judges comprising renowned industry experts and communicators worldwide, says the organisation.
Re.Bag.Re.Use says that it is the only winner from Africa — a proudly South African initiative — taking home the top honour in the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Category.
Justin Green, Global Alliance President and CEO, says, "The ESG category celebrates initiatives that go beyond words to deliver meaningful, sustainable change. This year's winner, Re.Bag.Re.Use, exemplifies the power of innovative public relations to address pressing global challenges. By repurposing waste into functional products, they are not only reducing environmental footprints but also driving economic empowerment within their community. Re.Bag.Re.Use stands out as a shining example of innovation, purpose and impact. A project with a global impact truly deserves world recognition."
Re.Bag.Re.Use Founder, Regine le Roux, concludes, "We're so humbled, thrilled and incredibly grateful to every single person and organisation who has contributed — and continues to contribute — to this beautiful initiative. Who would have thought that a simple hobby, an experiment and a single empty bread bag would snowball into this remarkable, globally recognised initiative."
