DBU selected eco-insulation producer Hock-Heyl and "electricity rebel" Sladek as winners - German president presented
The German Environmental Award of the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) has been presented for the twenty-first time. The founder and managing director of the company Hock (Nördlingen), Carmen Hock-Heyl (58), and the chairwoman of the board at Netzkauf Elektrizitätswerke Schönau (EWS), Ursula Sladek (67), received the prize - the most lucrative environmental award in Europe - in Osnabrück today from the hands of German President Joachim Gauck. With the award, the DBU is acknowledging the prizewinners' ecological commitment and entrepreneurial courage in taking on challenges and successfully persevering in the face of great resistance. DBU Secretary General Dr. Heinrich Bottermann praised the way eco-insulation producer Hock-Heyl and "electricity rebel" Sladek had never ceased to pursue their visions of protecting the climate in a sustainable fashion, and had finally succeeded in realising them.
