Vattenfall’s CEO wins award as "TIME European Hero 2005"
25 October 2005 In its Oct. 10 issue, TIME Magazine features Vattenfall’s CEO Lars G. Josefsson among their TIME European Heroes 2005. The magazine acknowledges Mr Josefsson’s global lobbying efforts encouraging the business community to take action for mitigating climate change. “Through a mixture of high-profile public diplomacy and corporate example, he’s on a mission to persuade his peers around the world that they should take radical action on climate change”, writes TIME’s European correspondent Peter Gumbel. Mr Josefsson’s fellow heroes are celebrities such as pop stars Bob Geldof and Herbert Grönemeyer, filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, or French footballer Thierry Henry. TIME calls their heroes “extraordinary people who illuminate and inspire, persevere and provoke. They take on challenges the rest of the world often prefers to avoid, reminding us all just how much a single person, even in the face of adversity, can accomplish”.
