Global Music Icon Ellie Goulding Received The Perfect World Foundation's honorary Conservation Award In Sweden

Ellie Goulding's passionate environmental activism was formally acknowledged by The Perfect World Foundation with the announcement as the recipient of one of the world's most prestigious conservation awards, The Perfect World Foundation Award. The award is given annually to recognize a prominent individual for their significant contributions to conservation efforts and raising global awareness about the critical need to protect our planet's wildlife, environment, and biodiversity. Ellie Goulding, the 11th recipient of this award, joined an esteemed group of past recipients including Sir David Attenborough, Dr. Jane Goodall, and HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco.

Upon being honored as this year's recipient of the award, Ellie Goulding was also named as The Conservationist of the Year 2024. In a video accepting the award, Goulding expressed her humility, saying, "I don't feel like I deserve it, but I will continue to do everything I can. The wildlife and biodiversity of this planet are under threat, with over 1 million species at the brink of extinction."

Ragnhild Jacobsson, CEO and co-founder of The Perfect World Foundation, praised Goulding's efforts: " Ellie Goulding is a respected force as a climate and nature champion. Her inspirational efforts to mobilize the youth in saving our planet's biological diversity are admirable. We are proud to honor her as this year's recipient."

The award ceremony, which took place on September 5 in Gothenburg, was an event featuring celebrities, philanthropists, and conservationists gathering to celebrate Goulding's philanthropy and raise awareness for global conservation efforts. Sarah, Duchess of York and global ambassador for The Perfect World Foundation, presented the award.

Ellie Goulding is passionate about reducing her own industry's carbon and resource footprint and has worked hard to remove single-use plastic from physical album releases and merchandise. Her last UK tour was carbon neutral and she continues to set standards for decarbonisation and eco messaging in the music industry. She frequently incentivises eco action for her fans and believes strongly that everyone should be invited to choose a future on a healthy planet. `The climate and nature crisis is very serious,' says Ellie, `but doom and gloom doesn't work. We have solutions, ingenuity, community, and enthusiasm. I believe in positive action and in doing what you can right now.'

Established in Sweden in the early 2000s, The Perfect World Foundation focuses on supporting wildlife and nature in crisis and preserving local and global biodiversity. The organization actively spreads knowledge through various events and creates conditions for driving its own initiatives, as well as supporting a number of independent grassroots projects around the world.
