HONG KONG, March 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness direct-selling company, has been recognized with three Silver Stevie® Awards, highlighting its impact in environmental sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and product innovation. The accolades, presented at the Middle East and North Africa Stevie Awards, honor the QNET Green Legacy Programme, its fight against plastic pollution through the VeryNile partnership, and Bernhard H. Mayer's OMNI Watch, a luxury timepiece crafted with sustainable materials.
The Stevie Awards are among the most prestigious business awards worldwide, recognizing outstanding corporate achievements. This latest recognition cements QNET's commitment to empowering communities, driving environmental change, and pioneering sustainable business practices.
"These awards are a testament to QNET's ongoing efforts to create meaningful impact," said Trevor Kuna, Chief Marketing Officer at QNET. "From tackling plastic pollution in the Nile, and redefining sustainable luxury with the OMNI Watch, we are dedicated to making a difference. This recognition reaffirms our commitment to responsible business practices that benefit both people and the planet."
QNET Green Legacy Programme: A Commitment to a Greener Future
The QNET Green Legacy Programme, which received a Silver Stevie® Award, is an environmental sustainability initiative focused on reforestation and carbon footprint reduction. As part of this programme, QNET has also pledged to plant a tree for every OMNI Watch sold—an initiative that has already led to over total 16,000 trees being planted worldwide. The Green Legacy Programme reflects QNET's long-term vision for a healthier planet through proactive green initiatives.
Tackling Plastic Pollution with VeryNile
QNET's partnership with VeryNile was recognized for its environmental and social impact, having impacted 250 families and removed over 5,000 kilograms of plastic waste from the River Nile. The initiative not only cleans one of the world's most polluted waterways but also supports local fishermen and artisans, who repurpose collected plastic into usable products—creating both economic opportunities and a circular economy around waste management.
Sustainable Luxury: Bernhard H. Mayer's OMNI Watch
The OMNI Watch, a timepiece from Bernhard H. Mayer, integrates sustainability into high-end watchmaking. Made with recycled stainless steel, RCS-certified thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) straps, and eco-friendly packaging, the OMNI Watch aligns with the growing demand for ethical luxury.
