And the French Best Practice Awards winners are…

The French preselection for the big final of the Global Best Practice Awards took place last Saturday, at Paris Expo, during JET EXPO. Organized by CINET, JET EXPO and Entretien Textile, the whole event was one full of enthusiasm, emotion and happiness, completing a successful first phase of the global competition that will end at Expo Detergo Milano (19-22 October) next year.

The selection process

The Jury Committee faced a difficult task, due to the big number of excellent profiles from PTC companies all over France, that cover in the best manner the fields of Innovation, Corporate social responsibility and Sustainability. A special prize of Best Practice from CINET was created to award the companies with an outstanding overall performance in all the 3 above mentioned categories. There were 3 categories of competitors in total, “Commerces de proximité”, “Industries et services” and “Fournisseurs”.
