Judging process
Nominations for the 2021 awards were invited from a group of more than 75 executives and academics who serve on one of the Baumhart Center’s advisory committees. Nominated companies were then evaluated by an twelve-person judging committee on four criteria:
- Quality of Innovation: Does the company’s approach represent a truly new way of integrating business strategy and social purpose?
- Depth of Impact: Has the company’s approach led to deep and measurable impact?
- Scalability of Innovation: Does the innovation provide valuable best practices for other companies who seek to lead business for good?
- Commitment of Leadership: Does the company’s leadership show a deep and authentic commitment to harnessing the positive power of business?
