The British Company of the Year Award seeks to recognise British organisations in any industry sector in China that exemplify the UK’s commitment to developing sustainable business and cultural relations between our two countries. This Award is open to British organisations in any industry sector, and is divided into a large and small company award. This year for the first time we will be awarded the best companies regardless of size, with one award for large multinational companies and another for dynamic smaller companies.
Judges will be looking for evidence of:
- A long-term commitment to building a sustainable business in China.
- An innovative approach to the running of a business, or a unique corporate strategy that sets the company apart.
- Products or services tailored specifically to the Chinese market.
- Active support of the development of UK-China relations.
- An open and inclusive working environment with provisions made to embrace British and Chinese working cultures.
- Engagement in community initiatives or a commitment to corporate social responsibility.
- Exemplary CSR policy in action.
