ANON Cambodia Receives Gender Impact Award at Hofburg Palace, Austria

Vienna, Austria | 10 April 2026

ANON (CAMBODIA) Co., Ltd. is proud to announce that we have received the Special Recognition: Gender Impact Award at the Cleantech Days 2026 Pitching Competition, hosted at the prestigious Hofburg Palace in Vienna, Austria.

This international recognition celebrates ANON’s commitment to building a climate-positive and gender-inclusive circular economy model through our proprietary material innovation platform, which transforms wood waste into high-value sustainable materials and eco-products inspired by Khmer heritage.

The award specifically acknowledges the strong gender impact embedded in our business model. At ANON Cambodia, more than 70% of our workforce are women and youth artisans, who play a leading role in transforming local waste streams into meaningful products for tourism, hospitality, and green industries.

For us, innovation is not only about climate solutions. It is about ensuring that the benefits of green growth are shared inclusively—especially with women, young artisans, and local communities in Siem Reap and across Cambodia.

Receiving this award at one of Europe’s most respected international clean technology forums reinforces our belief that Cambodian innovation can create both environmental and social impact at a global level.

This milestone also strengthens ANON’s vision to scale as a material innovation platform, enabling circular design solutions for sustainable public spaces, hospitality, museums, and ASEAN licensing partnerships.

We extend our sincere gratitude to UNIDO, the GCIP Global Programme, Cleantech Days 2026, and our partners and supporters for this meaningful recognition.

Most importantly, we dedicate this award to our women artisans, youth team members, and local communities whose creativity and resilience continue to shape ANON’s journey.

From Cambodia to the global stage, this award is a proud reminder that sustainability and inclusion can grow together.
