What are the CR Reporting Awards?
The CR Reporting Awards (CRRA) are the only annual, global online CR reporting awards. The programme was developed in 2007 to identify and acknowledge the best in corporate non-financial reporting. The CR Reporting Awards are managed by CorporateRegister.com – the CR resources website and provider of the world’s largest online directory of CR & Sustainability Reports.
A framework category revision took place in 2013.
Which CR reports are represented?
Taking October 2011 - October 2012 as the reporting period, we invited all organisation with relevant CR/Sustainability reports published during this time to participate.
The reports are entered across 10 award categories, with some reports entered into multiple categories.
More about the category criteria and guidelines for assessing reports can be found here
What’s the voting procedure?
Voting is open to all signed-up users of CorporateRegister.com, of which there are currently 40,000 at October 2012 (sign-up is free of charge). Each user is limited to a single set of votes. We have a series of measures in place to ensure the integrity of our voting procedures (including IP checks) - any votes which appear not to be genuine will be discounted.
Voters who are employees of reporting companies entered for the CRRA may not vote for their own companies. We cannot allow the overall results to be manipulated by large numbers of company employees all 'voting' for their own reports. We will discount any such votes - they will not count towards the final CRRA results.
There are ten individual Awards. Voters can view the entries for each Award, and select up to five choices (first choice, second choice etc). Voters can review their choices, change their minds, and review further reports as many times as they wish. The final vote is taken automatically on the closing date - 31st January 2013.
Voters have up to five choices for each Award, but they don’t need to use all of them. However, each choice counts towards the final winner, of which there will be one for each Award, with two runners-up.
Voters' current voting options are linked to each CorporateRegister.com user account allowing them to exit the site, and then sign back in again at any point to pick up where they left off.
The Voters’ Prize draw
If you vote in all nine categories, you will enter our weekly Voters' Draw. One lucky voter will win a GBP250 cash prize every week until the CRRA closes. Vote Now!
In addition, when voting closes we will have a 'Super Draw' when all voters who have voted in all categories will have another chance to win! We will have five lucky winners at the Super Draw, with GBP250 for each.
