Judging criteria

Unfortunately in today's "throw away" society, the voluntary approach to Corporate Social Responsibility does not always lead to organisations meeting their environmental and social obligations. This award serves to encourage and reward those global operators who lead by example and have implemented a structured approach to social responsibilities within the business plan. This will include social, environmental and ethical impacts - also known as triple-bottom-line reporting. Judges will be looking for evidence of the expansion of directors' duties to manage and minimise such impacts, as well as for measurable results.
