The Centre for Sustainability & Excellence (CSE), recognized as an educational and training leader in implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), for the second year running concluded its international competition among Certified Sustainability (CSR) Practitioners known as the Global Sustainability (CSR) Practitioner Challenge to celebrate its CSR A-List, currently implementing the most innovative and prestige initiatives.
In order to give recognition to some of the best practices, the Global Sustainability (CSR) Practitioner Challenge included the work of over 100 Certified CSR Executives from a diverse range of industries and backgrounds which took part in the 2013 Challenge. Consequently, each applicant presented a CSR initiative in which they had initiated and/or participated within their organization. The submissions were evaluated against specific objective criteria with 1 winner selected from 3 regions (Europe, Middle East, and North America) and in turn recognized as Awarded Sustainability (CSR) Practitioners.
