criteria

The winner of this award will have a clear vision for the company and will have demonstrated strong and successful leadership of the business. He or she will have regard to the needs of customers, employees, investors, the law, and communities. The winner will have helped shape the strategy and ensured that, through the senior management team, it has been successfully enacted and is “owned” throughout the company from top to bottom.

The succession planning the CEO has put in place for key roles within the business, including his or her own, always with long-term, sustainable financial and societal success at its core will be taken into account.

Due to the ever increasing importance of ESG considerations, companies will now also have their ESG practices scrutinised as part of the nomination process. Due regard will be given to alignment with current ESG Best Practice and any demonstrable ESG policies that have directly impacted decision making.
