Corporate Social Responsibility Award

This award recognises companies and organisations that have made a positive impact on society through their innovative and sustainable CSR initiatives during the last 2 years, which is above and beyond normal operations and not part of the ‘day job’.

Recognising that Knowsley is “Better Together” the award will recognise a business or organisation that has a stand-out CSR agenda and best demonstrates respect for individuals, communities, and the environment in the way they do business.  For example, this could include Covid-19 response, reducing carbon footprint, charitable efforts, the health and wellbeing of your employees/volunteers, and/or developing your local community.

In shortlisting, judges will consider the evidence provided for the following:

  • Evidence of the commitment to CSR and why it fits within the business / organisation’s aims and objectives

  • An explanation and evidence of the impact and outcomes of activities associated with being socially responsible

  • A description of the activities that have been undertaken to generate social value outcomes. For example, apprenticeships (created/sustained), supporting young people into work, use of local suppliers and/or bringing new local businesses into your supply chain, use of local skills / labour, engagement with and supporting local communities / groups / voluntary and third sector organisations / schools, volunteering, fundraising, response to Covid 19, health and wellbeing

  • What has been undertaken to support the ‘Knowsley Better Together’ principles, for example describing the positive benefits of working together, or pooling resources / skills that has led to better or improved outcomes for Knowsley and its residents

  • How the business is tackling and contributing to achieving net zero
