The ACCA Singapore Environmental and Social Reporting Awards
ACCA is pleased to announce the launch of the ACCA Singapore Awards for Sustainability Reporting 2008. Formerly known as the Singapore Environmental and Social Reporting Awards (SESRA), the awards which are now into its seventh year are endorsed by the National Environment Agency and supported by the Singapore Environment Council and TüV SüD PSB. Joining the list of supporting organisations this year is Singapore Compact for CSR.
ACCA Singapore invites organisations of all sizes and sectors to submit their application into the awards. The closing date for entries is 31 March 2009. The Awards ceremony will be held in June 2009.
The aim of the awards is to promote transparency and give recognition to those organisations which report and disclose environmental, social and full sustainability information. The awards also provide a platform to raise awareness of corporate transparency issues.
ACCA has promoted sustainability reporting for more than a decade since the introduction of the environmental reporting awards in 1991 in the United Kingdom. ACCA is involved in reporting awards around the world in Europe, Africa, North America and the Asia Pacific region.
Any organisation of any size or industry sector; be it private or public with operations in Singapore can enter into the awards.
The entries are reviewed by a judging panel comprising of experts within the field of environmental and sustainability reporting. At the core of the judging criteria are completeness, credibility and communication.
This year ACCA will be giving out awards in the following categories; Environmental Reporting, Social Reporting and the newly added category of Sustainability reporting. In addition to the main awards and commendations, ACCA Singapore will also be introducing new awards for "First Time Reporter". The introduction of the new awards is to encourage greater participation and to acknowledge a wider range of efforts that organisations have taken towards enhancing sustainability and transparency.
