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,

the public affairs and communications engagement, execution and
outcomes connected to their PPP programme.
