Global CSR Awards 2012 - Top Organisations from China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore Honoured

MANILA, Apr 21, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Thirteen companies from China, India, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore were recognized for their outstanding corporate social responsibility initiatives programs and services at the 4th Annual Global CSR Awards 2012 held in conjunction with The Global CSR 2012 Summit held on 19th April 2012 at the Shangri-La hotel, Boracay, Philippines, one of the world's top beach destinations. The competition has been the most intense this year with over 80 submissions from various companies around the world.

Atty. Michael Frederick Musngi, Undersecretary for Special Concerns at the Office of the Executive Secretary and Hon. Mayor John Yap, Municipal Mayor of Malay, Aklan presented the awards during the ceremony. "Its organizers deserve praise for recognizing innovation and rewarding the successful application of CSR programs that drive home the point that CSR is not just a strategy to win brownie points with the public, but a paradigm that businesses must adopt if their companies are to be truly successful at morphing into institutions that benefit shareholder and society alike," said Musngi.

The annual Global CSR Awards, organized by The Pinnacle Group International is Asia's most prestigious recognition awards program for Corporate Social Responsibility. The selection involved an in-depth process. They comprise firstly, the appointment of an independent panel of judges. They have been carefully selected to ensure the process was fair and objective and are made up of internationally recognized and respected judges from a variety of industry sectors and disciplines. Members of the judging committee are either rotated or newly appointed every year.

The announcement of the submission of entries is open to any organisations in the world. Initial screening will be conducted by the organising committee based on the screen criteria provided. Every single submission is being vigorously examined. After the initial screens, the finalists which passed the screens and are deemed to have outstanding submissions are presented to the judging committee for their final selection.
