Social Impact Award

This award recognises organisations that demonstrate exceptional commitment to creating meaningful, positive change in society. This award honours businesses that go beyond financial performance to address critical social challenges—whether through sustainability initiatives, community engagement, diversity and inclusion efforts, employee well-being programmes, or industry-wide advocacy. Submissions must be made by organisations showcasing measurable social impact initiatives over the past 18 months. Judges will evaluate entries based on innovation, long-term impact, scalability, and alignment with the broader corporate responsibility agenda in the UK. This award celebrates those leading by example—organisations that embed social responsibility into their corporate strategy and inspire lasting change within their communities and industries. Entry is by a 5-page A4 PDF submission; the judges will be looking for a clear plan and evidence that it is delivering on core objectives, paying particular attention to the criteria listed below.

• Background: Outline the social impact initiative, its purpose, and key objectives.
• Key Projects & Initiatives: Describe significant programmes or campaigns your organisation has implemented.
• Innovation: Highlight any unique approaches that contributed to the initiative’s success.
• Outcomes & Results: Summarise the measurable impact, including benefits to communities, employees, or stakeholders.
• Other Facts & Statements: Include any additional information that strengthens the submission.
