Becoming a Llama is a big !
That takes remarkable work.
The llamas pave the way for Danish businesses - that's why we celebrate them!
At Zweck, we believe that a strong business community is essential for the future. In our inaugural year, we celebrate the country's most sustainable businesses, the Llamas. We do this because we believe that llamas are a driving force in society - they are role models for sustainable growth, optimism, and creativity in Denmark. The llamas lead the way!
The criteria for being awarded the Llama
What does it take to achieve the title of a Llama company? Here are the four criteria that a company must meet to be recognized as the Llama. These criteria have remained unchanged since the launch of the Llama - our tribute to sustainable businesses - in 2024.
To be designated as the Llama, all four criteria must be met. Additionally, it is a prerequisite that the company has been in existence for at least 5 years.
Sustainability in business practices
The company must be dedicated to integrating sustainability into all aspects of its operations. This includes minimizing environmental impact through sustainable resource management, recycling, and waste reduction.
Sustainable growth
Although growth is not the primary goal, the company must still demonstrate a certain degree of sustainable growth over a period. This shows the company's ability to thrive in the market while maintaining its focus on sustainability.
Sustainable innovation
The company must be innovative and strive to develop new solutions that promote sustainability and positively contribute to society. This can include developing environmentally friendly products, implementing green technologies, or participating in sustainability initiatives.
Social and socioeconomic contributions
Llama-worthy companies should have a positive impact on society through job creation, socially responsible initiatives, and other contributions to the community. This includes supporting local communities, promoting diversity and inclusion, and participating in social programs that improve the quality of life for people and the environment.
