(3BL Media /theCSRfeed) Northampton, MA - November 28, 2011 - Once a year for the last 20 years, hundreds of visionary business and thought leaders, policy makers, investors, and nonprofits ambassadors gather to discuss the current and state and future goals of sustainable business. And this year, Justmeans is proud to promote social innovation as well through the 2012 Social Innovation Awards, being held concurrently with the Ceres Conference 2012 in Boston, MA.

The Justmeans Social Innovation Awards exist to honor the global leaders from the business and nonprofit sectors that are tackling global issues through social innovation and Justmeans’s mission is to help companies and leading nonprofits distinguish themselves in the realm of sustainability. Ceres’s mission is to integrate sustainability into day-to-day business practices for the health of the planet and its people. Having these two events side-by-side provides a perfect opportunity to showcase leadership and innovation in sustainability.

Justmeans is excited to announce that the ceremony honoring this year’s leaders in social innovation will be held on April 25, at 8:30pm in Boston, MA, the opening day of the Ceres Conference. The awards will recognize leaders in the following categories:
