Characteristics



Bravo Sustainability Awards aim to highlight and reward the best practices recorded by the participating Organizations at the online Dialogue for Sustainable Development in the context of the Sustainable Greece 2020 Initiative.  These practices contribute to the promotion of Sustainable Development and Corporate Responsibility, the advancement of responsible behavior standards and the improvement of the quality of life within the Greek society.

The process of promoting good practices is based upon the values supported by QualityNet Foundation in terms of fostering stakeholder dialogue and engagement. The link of this year’s Awards with the Sustainable Greece 2020 Initiative was realized with the view to provide a further incentive for the promotion of those practices submitted to the Awards Scheme by organizations and companies that take part in the Initiative as well as to raise awareness amongst social partners and stakeholders and to educate them with regards to these practices.

Since its first launch, five years ago, the Bravo Initiative had the goal to promote a systematic dialogue with a wide range of social partners and stakeholders in Greece regarding issues of sustainable development and Social responsibility. This year, the scope of the Awards broadens operating as a training mechanism for the entire market, encouraging the participation of companies of every size as well as the participation of stakeholders and experts from abroad as evaluators.
