The ‘Big Tick’ award is the first level of award available to entrants of national Awards for Excellence which commends the best examples of business as a force for good. The bank received the re-accreditation for contribution to sustainability through innovation at the BITC 2012 Awards for Excellence gala dinner held in the United Kingdom recently.
The award underscores the Bank’s continuous efforts at promoting the doctrine of responsible business practices through initiatives and programmes that address economic, social and environmental challenges.
The BITC award for excellence is one of the most credible and established independent corporate responsibility awards that recognize and celebrate organizations that have demonstrated innovation, creativity and sustained commitment to corporate social responsibility.
Specifically, BITC Awards for Excellence recognise the powerful and positive roles that business is playing in local communities by awarding companies for the impact and innovation of their responsible business programmes across a number of categories. The awards are given to companies who have demonstrated leadership on key social and environmental issues where business can make a difference at local, national and international levels.
