About the Awards for Excellence

Business in the Community’s Awards for Excellence showcase the best of responsible business in action.

For over a decade Business in the Community's Awards for Excellence have identified and celebrated those companies that have had a positive impact on our environment and society as well as their business.

Categories cover a wide range of issues including work experience, collaborative community action, supply chain, climate change, rural communities and sustainable travel. A full list of categories can be found here.

Companies demonstrating they have achieved a specific standard in their chosen category  are awarded a Big Tick. The best of the Big Tick entries then go forward to judging where the overall winner for each category is decided.
