HONG KONG /PRNewswire/ -- Nominations for the coveted PublicAffairsAsia Gold Standard Awards for Corporate Citizenship and Public Private Partnership are set to open on August 1.
The awards form part of 16 categories in The Gold Standard Awards (http://publicaffairsasia.com/goldstandard) – which recognise achievement in areas ranging from government relations to digital communications – and are designed to promote excellence in corporate citizenship and tri-sectoral collaboration across Asia Pacific.
Now in their eighth year the citizenship awards have been secured by organisations including Tencent, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Adecco Australia & New Zealand, Procter & Gamble, ACCOR, Fonterra, VISA, Nokia, Xylem, Microsoft and Coca-Cola India.
The awards have become the "accolade to win" in the CSR and public-private partnership arenas and are judged by an unrivalled group of over 80 practitioners from business, communications and the public affairs communities, the media, NGOs and government.
Sponsored by Eon – The Stakeholder Relations Firm, The Gold Standard Awards for Corporate Citizenship identify excellence in the development of a CSR, sustainability or good governance project which enhances corporate reputation. The categories are open to corporations, NGOs and public bodies who can show commitment to sustainable business practices, governance values or corporate responsibility either through a single campaign, case study or broader corporate commitment to these outcomes.
In the area of corporate citizenship, awards will be presented in each of the following sub-categories:
- In-Country Programme: Awards a citizenship programme taking place in only one country but which is not related to a global programme.
- Regional Programme: Awards a regional citizenship programme which takes place in more than one country but which is not related to a global programme.
- Global-Asia Programme: Awards the local implementation of a global programme at either the in-country, regional or global level.
The Gold Standard Award for Public Private Partnership, sponsored by HP, recognises excellence in any project involving both the public and private sector in Asia Pacific. It reflects the growing importance of public private partnerships in areas such as health promotion, environmental protection and the delivery of public services. The award will be made to a partnership as a group in recognition of the public affairs and communications engagement, execution and outcomes connected to their PPP programme.
