The film "Everybody dies, but not everybody lives" produced in cooperation with Neste and Youtube artist Prince Ea has won the tve Global Sustainability Film Award in category Reshaping the Economy on 27 November 2017.
Neste's film received compliments on its fresh take on a globally impactful message.
According to Nick Nuttall, Director of Communications at UN Climate Change and chair of the judges: "The film captured the aspiration of a world in search of a better future, the need for everyone to stand up and act-it is a credit to Neste that it had the courage to go beyond the usual corporate style. In choosing this actor and this monologue Neste signalled it had a transformational vision of its role as a business and was determined to take a very different and ever more sustainable path now and in the years and decades to come."
"We are very happy about the award, as we were competing with world-class companies and brands. The finalists included e.g.Rolls-Royce and Du Pont. The film we created with Prince Ea has won people's hearts all over the world and helped them accomplish changes in their lives that they did not previously have the courage or motivation for. This award once again demonstrates the power of touching content," says Sirpa Tuomi, Marketing Director at Neste.

The video, which has reached more than 180 million viewers and was created in cooperation with Prince Ea, is part of Neste's global Pre-order the Future project, which sought to develop innovative ways to utilize renewable materials in the production of goods and services together with the general public.
