Finalists Revealed! The 2021 Chairman’s Global Excellence Awards top 24

Finalists Revealed! The 2021 Chairman’s Global Excellence Awards top 24

When Sanjeev put the call out for submissions for the first ever Chairman’s Global Excellence Awards, we weren’t quite sure what to expect. The event, which began in Australia, was initially created as a way to showcase and celebrate excellence aligned to our three values of Change, Family, and Sustainability. Taking it global was ambitious, and doing so during a pandemic more so. But our people came through!

We received hundreds of submissions with 160 team entries and 60 for individuals from 14 countries. The initiatives and achievements were diverse, but one theme was common: passionate people who care about making a difference.

The process so far: 1. Nominations. 2. Subject Matter Expert Round. 3. ExCo Judging Round (this is where we are now). 4. Winners announced (details coming soon).

We handed all entries over to a series of Subject Matter Expert judges. With 3 global senior leaders per panel, we had 8 panels – one for Family | Safety, one for Family | Partnerships, one for Sustainability | Social, and one for CN30. And we split the Change entries into two panels, and the Sustainability | Economic into two panels, due to the sheer volume of entries for those two categories.

After much deliberation – many hours of reading, as well as video calls for each panel to agree – we have our top 24 Finalists who will progress to the final judging round.

Without further ado, here are the 24 Finalists for 2021:
