This prestigious award aims to honor companies and initiatives that make pioneering contributions to ecological and social transformation. In addition to various sectors, the sports area will also be taken into account this year. Hannover 96 is nominated in the sports category with its innovative social kiosk project. This nomination is a first significant step for the association, because it takes more than 16 other sports associations and clubs.

The decision about the winners is made by an independent jury who is composed of experts from business, science and sport. The award ceremony will take place on Friday, November 29, as part of the German sustainability day. This is an excellent opportunity for Hannover 96 to emphasize the importance of social engagement in the sports world and how teams can actively contribute to improving their communities.

an important project: social kiosk

The social kiosk project is an original initiative from Hannover 96 that combines social engagement with kiosk culture in the region. On the kiosks, which are set up in different locations in Hanover, the flags blow with the motto "Good on every corner". These kiosks are more than just sales outlets; They act as platforms for social projects and actions that enable citizens to become active and to participate in the community. The special thing about it is that this happens not only in the stadium or in the fan shop, but in the everyday encounters of the local people.

Juri Sladkov, the head of CSR and sustainability at Hannover 96, was positive about the nomination and the relevance of the project. He sees this award as confirmation of the joint efforts of the association in order to make a positive influence in society. Sladkov emphasizes that Hannover 96 still has many plans with the social kiosk project and hopes that other clubs will also follow this example. "So we would really do good every corner," he says and thus appeals to the vision of the association to emphasize the importance of social projects in sport and to spread them beyond Hanover.

Overall, the nomination of Hannover 96 for the German Sustainability Award is not only an recognition of your efforts, but also an incentive to promote kiosk culture in combination with social responsibility. Due to the commitment to the kiosks, people can not only do something good, but also strengthen the community and promote awareness of social issues in the region. While the award ceremony is getting closer, it remains to be seen whether Hannover 96 can take the price home and thus take another step towards a more sustainable and social future.
