Now in their 17th year, the Standard Bank Top Women Awards honours those individuals and companies whose unfailing vision and innovative leadership has helped women in South Africa. The awards recognise outstanding leadership for organisations which have shaped women's roles within the public & private sectors.
Over the last 17 years, the awards have recognised over 100 businesses and female leaders.
The Corporate Citizenship award specifically, is awarded to the organisation that had the greatest positive impact on quality of life and economic prosperity for South African women and girls this year. The effect these efforts have had on building a gender-empowered culture within the organisation is also assessed.
