Our goal
Our jury was looking for individual projects undertaken as part of an organization’s compliance program which demonstrated successful outcomes and an innovative approach. This could be a creative compliance communications campaign, a sophisticated KPI measurement model or a challenging internal change management project that was implemented in the year 2021-2022.

Our Process
Once our team reviewed all the applications, the expert panel of jury chose two projects to compete in the final round. These two finalists presented their projects live on the ECEC floor, after which the audience voted for the winner.
The expert jury based their decisions on the following criteria:
- Ethical: how ethical is the idea?
- Exceptionality: how exceptional is the idea?
- Impact: what impact has the idea had?
- Innovation: is this an innovative idea?
- Inspirational: would the idea inspire our Ethics & Compliance community?
- Scalability: how replicable is the idea in other locations?
- Sustainability: how sustainable is the idea?
