“Delivering strong business results is just the starting point for these CEOs, who have built purpose into their organizations’ mission and culture,” said Dave Armon, publisher of CR Magazine. "This year's 3BL Forum will focus on Brands Taking Stands. Companies that commit to socially responsible and sustainable business practices take a stand every day. These accomplished leaders demonstrate their personal commitment to corporate responsibility, sustainability and impact."
The Responsible CEO of the Year awards are presented to CEOs – from public and private companies, NGOs, and governments – who, during the previous year, put themselves at personal and professional risk in order to deliver on their corporate responsibility promises.
CR Magazine also awards a Corporate Responsibility Lifetime Achievement Award to recognize an individual whose risk-taking, vision, and pioneering spirit have led to significant achievement in the corporate responsibility field over the course of their career.
All award finalists were nominated by fellow members of the CR community and selected by an independent judging panel that includes prior honorees.
