The Ethical Corporation Awards is the inaugural celebration of excellent responsible business practices.
The Ethical Corporation has a long history of searching independent commentary, a reputation for hard-hitting insight, and an unrivalled position as an expert within the field of corporate responsibility.
IKEA has been nominated for its aim to create lasting and large-scale social and environmental improvements in conventional cotton cultivation, through partnerships with Save the Children, UNICEF and WWF. Together with IKEA Social Initiative and WWF we address changes through a long-term commitment to our joint projects, promoting the importance of education to help families and communities to take collective action. At the same time WWF is working to improve the environment within cotton farming.
All entries will be judged on the basis that - in the opinion of the judging panel - the organisation has been agenda-leading in corporate responsibility in the period March 2009 - March 2010. The winners will be announced at the Responsible Business Summit, 4-5 May 2010 in London.
