It has been quite a successful week for juwi Renewable Energies (Pty) Ltd. On Friday, May 24th, Teri Kruger, juwi’s Director Stakeholder Relations, was awarded with the “2013 Regional Business Achiever Award” in the Corporate category by the Western Cape branch of the Business Women’s Association. She received the prize for her inspiring work in energy and pioneering renewable energies in South Africa with recognition for her legacy projects in local communities. The prize was awarded by Robyn Hey, Chairperson of the Cape Town Business Women’s Association. Only a few days later, on May 28th, juwi inaugurated its first solar project in Rustenburg.
In particular the judges honoured Teri Kruger’s passion for sustainable solutions and her enduring love of nature. Furthermore, she was acknowledged for her diverse set of skills that she uses on sensitive energy management in response to the global concern around climate change and its far-reaching impacts.
Her work previously has received prestigious awards - for her contribution to consumer protection and for outstanding contribution to science, engineering and technology.
Jochen Magerfleisch, COO of the German juwi group, was one of the first to congratulate: “Teri was one of our first employees in South Africa and helped to shape juwi’s particular approach to business in Africa. Her award shows that effort and dedication for a carbon-free energy production based on 100 percent renewable energies is a target worth pursuing”.
Greg Austin, juwi South Africa’s Managing Director, also congratulates: “I am very happy for Teri. This is an important award for her but also for juwi and the company’s activities in South Africa. juwi Renewable Energies through its ongoing leadership and support has provided a platform for Teri to both participate and excel in this noteworthy business award competition”.
