Mit der Earnest App leistet uptodate.de einen beträchtlichen Beitrag zum Erreichen der Klimaziele, aber nicht mit Fingerzeig und Informationsüberfluss – bei Earnest (aus engl.: earth + earn + honest) lautet die Devise: einfach mal machen! 

Bei den German Stevie® Awards 2022 gewann das Corporate Start-up der Versicherungskammer aus Bayern den Gold Stevie® für die beste App im Bereich Lifestyle.

uptodate.de glaubt, dass Nachhaltigkeit ein essentieller Bestandteil des Lebens ist. Nach dem Motto „Dein Leben. Deine Zukunft“ sieht das Start-up den Umgang mit Nachhaltigkeit aus einer Zukunftsperspektive. Deswegen wurde die App Earnest entwickelt. Earnest hilft dabei, neue nachhaltige Routinen zu entwickeln. Die App motiviert und hält up to date bei den neuesten umweltrelevanten Themen. Eine Win-Win-Situation für uns und unsere Umwelt!

Aber warum ist das Thema eigentlich so wichtig?

Etwa ein Drittel aller CO2-Emissionen entsteht in privaten Haushalten. Genau dort setzt uptodate Ventures an. Die App fördert das Problembewusstsein seiner Nutzer:innen. Sie inspiriert und motiviert in einem spielerischen Ansatz Nachhaltigkeit in den eigenen Alltag zu integrieren: weniger Abfall, weniger Emissionen, mehr Respekt für die Umwelt.

Und das Beste: dafür müssen wir nicht gleich unser Leben komplett verändern. Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten im Alltag, unseren CO2-Fußabdruck zu verringern. Bereits kleine Verhaltensänderungen können einen direkten Einfluss haben und die Earnest App von hilft dabei, die passenden Maßnahmen zu finden. Die App ist kostenlos und wurde bereits über 700.000 Mal heruntergeladen.

Und so funktioniert es: 

• Tipps: Die bereits über 500.000-mal gelesenen Tipps helfen den Nutzer:innen dabei, ihren CO2-Fußabdruck zu reduzieren.
• Coach: Die Kurse bestehen aus drei Einheiten, dazu zählen das Vermitteln von spannendem Wissen, spaßige To-dos sowie ein abschließendes hilfreiches Quiz. Der Coach leitet die Nutzer:innen Schritt für Schritt an ein nachhaltiges Kernthema, wie z.B. das Problem mit dem Plastikmüll heranführen. Das relativ neue Coach-Feature wurde mittlerweile bereits etwa 30.000-mal absolviert.
• Challenges: In der App wurden bereits 330.000 Challenges erledigt. Diese fordern die Nutzer:innen zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit heraus und
• Prämien: Die Nutzer:innen können ihre gesammelten Punkte nutzen, um Bäume zu pflanzen, Korallen zu züchten und einzupflanzen oder die Meere von Plastik zu befreien. Diese Prämien werden in Zusammenarbeit mit gemeinnützigen Organisationen direkt für die Nutzer:innen eingelöst.

Wir freuen uns, eine solche Leistung honorieren zu dürfen und sagen: einfach mal machen! zur APP geht es hier: https://bit.ly/3OaZADs

Greenville Developments is a women-owned business headed by Australian business woman, Beverley Honig. The company repurposes unused shipping containers into remarkable spaces including pop-up shops, offices, student accommodations, and most importantly homes for victims of bushfires. In addition to providing sometimes critical living spaces for Australians, Greenville is committed to sustainability in their work.

Beginning with the very foundation of its company, Greenville works to reduce waste by recycling abandoned shipping containers to create shelters and workspaces that do not compromise on safety and longevity. Additionally, the building process for these structures produces a carbon reduction factor of 78% compared to traditional build. This statistic is encouraging given that materials and construction processes throughout the whole building life cycle is responsible for 11% of all carbon emissions in the world. Greenville's goal is to encourage others to decarbonize the sector by eliminating carbon emissions associated with the construction process. 

Greenville is also able to maintain a rapid building process, due to the repurposed shipping containers. Compared to a traditional build, the shipping container structures reduce the time to build by 70% and cost of build by 50% due to the rapid build offsite process and the use of smart materials. 

Since earning the Bronze Stevie Award for Startup of the Year - Business Products Industries, Greenville Developments has partnered with one of the largest global oil and gas companies in Australia to build hi-tech mobile FutureLabs for collaborative STEM research. The FutureLab concept sprang from the desire to create mobile eco-pods to enable inspiration for innovators, universities, and STEM graduates. The growing demand for fast affordable homes has caused them to produce these eco-friendly pods in a way that is more efficient than ever before. 

Through this partnership, Greenville has secured a global presence and has set up partnerships with global channels in Asia and Europe. Its products have been used by universities and communities to develop world leading research and development. Greenville continues to focus on innovation, raising standards in sustainable building, striving to achieve carbon neutrality with eco-friendly building material and practices, and producing innovative and resilient structures. Ultimately, the company hopes to help organizations and people innovate and grow, and help save our planet through the use of carbon neutral materials.

Greenville Developments won the Bronze Stevie Award for Startup of the Year - Business Products Industries.

The 2022 Stevie Awards for Women in Business will be judged by more than 200 leading professionals around the world, and nominees will have access to all the judges’ comments and suggestions about their nominations.

Today, the Stevie® Awards are widely known as the world's premier business awards, but the journey to get here did not come without risks, challenges, clear goals, determination, and a dedicated team.

Michael Gallagher founded the Stevie Awards in 2002 to honor and generate public recognition of the achievements and positive contributions of organizations and working professionals worldwide. Thousands of nominations are submitted year after year in a myriad of categories across eight Stevie Awards programs. All organizations—public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small—may submit nominations. Entries detailing everything from achievement in product innovation, thought leadership, creative marketing campaigns, outstanding customer service, entrepreneurial ventures, and more recently, COVID-19 response, are reviewed by our respected group of judges. 

Past notable Stevie Award winners include Aflac, Apple, Chipotle, Bank of America, Ford Motor Company, IBM, ING, PayPal, Procter & Gamble, Roche Group, Samsung, and Verizon, among many others. In short order, the crystal pyramid-topped Stevie trophy has become one of the most coveted prizes in the business world. 

In the following interview responses, Michael Gallagher shares his personal background and experiences that molded the foundation and core values of the Stevie Awards.

How and why did you come up with the idea to found the Stevie Awards?

I was at a point in my life where I needed to find something else to do, after working for other people since I was 16. I enjoyed working for a company called The New York Festivals for six years in the ‘80s that staged awards for video, advertising, radio, television, and other media, and thought, I enjoyed that, but the world doesn’t need any more film festivals. But why isn’t there an “Oscars” for business?

What was your previous business experience and background before you founded the Stevie Awards?

After working for The New York Festivals for six years, I moved to the Washington, DC area and worked in the tradeshow and conference industry for seven years, then in the dot-com world in various marketing and sales roles through 2001.

What were some of your goals for the Stevie Awards when you first started the organization? Have they come to fruition and/or evolved since then?

I wanted them to become known as the “Oscars for business,” and to some extent, we’ve achieved that, but of course, we’re not as well known yet as the Academy Awards. 

What are the most challenging experiences you faced when first starting the Stevie Awards?

The first year is always the hardest for any new venture. Every process, procedure, and system has to be imagined, designed, and created for the first time. Cash was in short supply so we had to scramble for just about everything. But the advantage of having to do almost everything yourself is that you learn how to do just about everything.

How do you define success at the Stevie Awards?

A well-subscribed competition, reviewed and rated by a sufficient number of experienced professionals in the judging process, resulting in a diverse body of winners, leading to a well-attended awards ceremony that comes off without a major problem.

What is something that all Stevie Award winners have in common?

The aspiration to have their achievements recognized by a wider audience than just their colleagues.

What do the Stevie Awards mean to you?

I try not to dwell on the past too much. I think I’m very forward-thinking. I think of the Stevie Awards as a movement, rather than a company or organization. A movement toward wider public recognition of the achievements of people in the workplace, beyond the headline-grabbing billionaires who hoard so much of the news coverage of business. We’ve achieved that to a large extent in some nations and regions, and hardly at all in others. So we still have work to do.

What has surprised you most over the past 20 years with the Stevie Awards?

That I’m still doing this and enjoying every day of it.

What is your role like today compared to when you first started the Stevie Awards in 2002?

I don’t have to do everything as I did the first few years - yay! We have a good team now and I don’t fret over every little thing as I used to.

Which awards programs are most promising for future growth?

Awards programs usually grow slowly for the first few years, then grow quickly in years five through 10, say, and then grow incrementally each year after that. All eight of our programs have followed that pattern, more or less. I can’t say which of our existing programs will grow the most. Maybe it will be the ones we haven’t started yet.

What has changed the most in the past 20 years at the Stevie Awards?

There was a lot of skepticism in the early years that I’d be able to pull it off, at first, and that I’d be able to keep making it work, after that. We’re well beyond that point now. I don’t know that there are many now who doubt that the Stevie Awards are credible and here to stay.

What do you believe the next 20 years of the Stevie Awards will look like?

Wider acceptance and growth in areas that haven’t really accepted the Stevie Awards yet, such as central and South America, Japan, and other places. And a new Stevie Awards competition of some type every three to five years.

Optimum works to transform businesses through the power of its people, innovative technologies, and automated processes. Even during the pandemic, Optimum has significantly grown its client base, team size, and revenue without financial assistance from a male-dominated industry. Optimum strives to help companies modernize their business systems by utilizing their optimized processes, modern technologies, and exceptional customer experiences. 

Since earning her Stevie Award for Female Entrepreneur of the Year – Business Products, Nooshin continues to lead Optimum which started with minimal capital investment during the difficult economy and market of 2014 in a male-dominated industry, but gained rapid momentum and growth as every single person working at Optimum, from the executive leadership to junior staff, believes in integrity, transparency, quality, great customer experience, and smart work.

Optimum's growth since 2019 has been 87% growth in number of employees and 117% growth in revenue.
