We are looking for creative Carinthian minds to help us live sustainably and make the future greener!

The "ausgezeichnet regional" award aims to put the spotlight once again on Carinthian regions and their entrepreneurs, associations and sustainable initiatives. Eight different categories (see info box on the left) are available for applicants who would like to take part in this year's "ausgezeichnet regional" award. Today we present the category "Environmental protection and energy", which is presented by the Carinthian energy supplier Kelag as a partner.

Sustainability in our company also means taking responsibility for future generations.

"Sustainability in our company also means taking responsibility for future generations. Through the intelligent expansion of renewable energies, such as hydropower, photovoltaics and wind power, we are making our energy mix sustainable and contributing to the achievement of climate targets," says Reinhard Draxler, CEO of Kelag, who, together with the "Krone", is now looking for creative Carinthian minds who, with their work or their ideas and initiatives, optimize this area, which not only plays an important role in climate neutrality, but also permeates almost all areas of life in society and thus also facilitates it enormously.
