Criteria for evaluation
Winners will be selected according to the main criteria below, each of which will be graded by the juries:
- The impact of the practice: it is not restricted to words and to a declaration of intent but has been translated into concrete actions and has a measurable impact both on the target public and on the smooth running of the organisation.
- The innovative nature of the action.
- The exemplary and replicable nature of the initiative: the practice should be an inspiring example that can be adapted to other organisations or other relevant areas.
- The level of implementation of the practice: extent and scope according to the size of the company.
- The way the project is managed.
- Integration as part of a long-term approach: the practice should be enshrined in a continuous improvement process and must not be a one-off, anecdotal event. It should be embedded sustainably in the strategy of the organisation.
