Strategic CSI aims to drive positive developmental impact as well as business impact well beyond reputational management. Each project entered for the award will be judged against its objectives as well as evidence of its corporate and social benefits. Social benefits include visible outputs, beneficial outcomes and impact, whilst the business benefits include enhanced business competitiveness and meaningful engagement with key stakeholders.
The winner can look forward to having their project profiled in a double-page case study in the 23rd edition of the annual Trialogue Business in Society Handbook – a prize worth R89,000. Promaths by Investec scooped the award in 2019 and the 2019 issue of the Handbook can be viewed here. In addition, the winning project will be showcased at the launch of the Handbook in November this year and at Trialogue's Business in Society Conference in 2021 and will receive extensive media coverage.
The judges of this year’s award are Anthony Wilson-Prangley, who helped to build the Centre for Leadership and Dialogue at the Gordon Institute of Business Science (Gibs) and founded The Gumboots Foundation, and Gugu McLaren-Ushewokunze, head of social transformation at the National Business Initiative.
