RICHARD BRANSON TO RECEIVE FROST & SULLIVAN 2011 GIL AWARD
SINGAPORE, May 6 (Bernama) -- Sir Richard Branson is the second recipient of the Frost & Sullivan’s 2011 Growth, Innovation and Leadership (GIL) Award.
The founder of the Virgin Group is being recognised for his visionary leadership in founding the Carbon War Room, one of the most influential non-profit organisations in the energy and environment world today.
The GIL award will be presented by Frost & Sullivan Chairman, David Frigstad at Frost & Sullivan's annual GIL 2011: Europe event, from May 17-18 at the Emirates Stadium in London.
In a statement, Frigstad said the Chief Executive Officer's (CEO) world is a 24/7 complex business universe.
It moves at light speed and grows more challenging each day. It requires precision, confidence and true visionary leadership to keep up.
"Not only has Richard Branson set the bar in these areas, but he continues to challenge the norm, redefining the needs of industry and global challenges of the world in which we live.
"We are proud to applaud and celebrate Richard's lifelong achievements," he said.
The Carbon War Room focuses on achieving billion ton (gigaton-scale) reductions in carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e) by harnessing entrepreneurship to unlock wealth and prosperity across the economy.
The GIL 2011: Europe - The Global Community of Growth, Innovation and Leadership, networks some of today's greatest visionaries, innovators and leaders in order to share their best practices while engaging one another in candid discussions on how to leverage innovation as a resource to address global challenges.
