THE ASIAN CSR AWARDS recognizes CSR programs that achieve excellence in terms of services to stakeholders and innovative sustainable solutions to pressing social challenges. Awardees should demonstrate the company’s leadership, sincerity and on-going commitment to incorporating ethical values, compliance with legal requirements, respect for individuals, involvement in communities and protection of the environment into the way they do business.
The Awards categories are as follows: Environmental Excellence, Education Improvement, Poverty Alleviation, and Health Enhancement. In addition, the Awards Committee may choose to recognize a particular program with a CSR Impact Award. The CSR Impact Award honors a program that has an on-going track record of significant sustainable impact and is innovative and replicable. It may be a combination of other categories stated earlier.
THE INTEL - ASIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AWARD (IACRA) continues to recognize companies in that have embedded CSR into its operations and integrated CSR into its business. These companies should demonstrate that they are actively promoting CSR to both their internal and external stakeholders. The IACRA is not an award for a specific initiative or a single area.
The main criterion is that the organization has made CSR an integral part of the way they do business and has implemented CSR projects or programs that have a significant impact and are sustainable in all appropriate areas of operations. Furthermore, these companies should represent role models and exert positive influences on their stakeholders, their peers and their communities.
Now on its 13th year, the Asian CSR Awards program is presented by the Ramon V. del Rosario, Sr. Center for Corporate Social Responsibility, a research and program center within the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). It is the Center’s belief that CSR can be truly sustainable only when it is integrated into the company’s business model and is regarded as fundamental to strategy.
The Awards ceremonies will be held during the Gala Dinner and Awards Night of the 2016 Asian Forum on Corporate Social Responsibility in Yangon, Myanmar on 21 September 2016.
