How the winner(s) will be selected?
Second Annual Social Innovation Awards:
These awards are presented by the Financial Times and Justmeans – two organizations that exemplify sustainable business. This awards program was developed to showcase cutting edge examples of organizations that are doing business – better.
The categories of the Social Innovation Awards are the core areas that make up a sustainable company. The awards this year will be showcasing the following nine categories: Finance, Purchasing, Product Design, Philanthropy, Supply Chain, Sales, Operations, Communications, and Human Resources.
Special Awards:
Entry into one of the nine main categories will also qualify applicants to enter into the “Citizens Choice Award” category in which the winner will be selected by a public voting process. In addition to the judges selecting the nine main category winners, they will also be using the shortlisted candidates to select and award the ‘Most Innovative Awards”.
