The Global Goals World Cup in Prague is a part of the third year of the SDGs Awards, prestigious awards organised by the Association of Social Responsibility with support of the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Regional Development of the Czech Republic. The SDGs Awards are annually given to companies, NGOs and public institutions which are pioneers of sustainability in Czechia. The winners are acknowledged for incorporating the idea of sustainable development into their strategies and thus helping Czechia and the international community to attain a more sustainable future.
