The Equality,Diversity and Inclusion Award recognises those organisations that are making a difference in harnessing a truly diverse workforce and that excel in their commitment to the promotion of EDI across all strands of diversity. This includes gender, race, sexual orientation, disability inclusion and gender identity.
The ESG Initiative Award will focus on specific activities, strategies or internal policies that wind and renewable energy companies are implementing to drive strong performance on sustainability and ethics. Judges will assess entrants based on the impact they have on the three main pillars of ESG: environmental, social and governance.
Categories will be judged by a small group of judges and they’ll be assigned based on judges’ expertise and always avoiding any conflicts of interest. Judges will read and score their allocated entry forms, considering any supporting materials submitted. Judges will be asked to give a score for each question within the entry form. These will be combined to give an overall score for each entry. All judges’ scores will then be combined, and only the highest-scoring entries will determine the shortlists. Judges will e-meet to discuss the highest-scoring entries and then agree on the winner for each category. Judges may, at their discretion, award a high commendation on each category.
The shortlists will be announced on Monday 25th March. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Thursday 23rd May.
