MELIORA 2020 - IS NOW OPEN!

This year CSRDG for the third time conducts the annual Corporate Social Responsibility Excellence Contest - Georgia’s Responsible Business Awards “Meliora”.  The Awards are organized within the frames of the Georgian Civil Society Sustainability Initiative, with the support of European Union and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS). 

Due to the challenges posed by COVID-19,  the awards scheme is changed.  The COVID-19 crisis confirms once again that businesses, communities, society, and the environment are mutually dependent.  While COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting the business of small and large companies alike, this is also a unique opportunity for responsible businesses to demonstrate how sustainable and well prepared they are to manage risks and adapt to new circumstances.

To support businesses at these difficult times Meliora 2020 is dedicated to highlight the projects and initiatives implemented by companies in frames of their corporate responsibility in response to COVID 19 crisis.

Therefore, this year the Contest comprises four Categories, covering all main areas of responsible business actions in response to COVID-19 challenges:

• Supporting employees during COVID-19 pandemic

• Supporting clients, customers and suppliers during COVID-19 pandemic

• Supporting society /communities during COVID-19 pandemic

• Supporting SMEs and most suffered industries during COVID-19 pandemic

Contest is open to the companies of all sizes from around the country.

The independent jury consisting of the leading Georgian and international experts  would evaluate nominees based on the consistency and effectiveness of their efforts, sustainability of the results and proper design of the initiatives. Amount of the invested funds would not be in no way decisive factor in evaluation process.
