On March 17, AMCHAM launched its first webinar in the Citibank Boardroom with the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee, ACE Awards in Review, a synopsis of the 2019 AMCHAM CSR Excellence (ACE) Awards.
CSR is a key pillar of ethical business practices. Every year over 60 AMCHAM member companies apply for the AMCHAM CSR Excellence Awards to showcase their CSR project. These projects support Thailand’s sustainable development and through the event member companies come together to share best practices, and learn from each other’s projects.
Through the webinar, CSR Committee Leader Scott Chang presented and discussed ways to avoid common mistakes in the AMCHAM CSR Excellence (ACE) application, followed by a review of what judges are looking for, and how members can achieve the task of highlighting their company’s CSR work. Companies that did not receive ACE designation and companies considering applying in 2020 for this status joined this informative session.
ACE Recognition is awarded to AMCHAM member companies for their long-term efforts to support Thailand’s sustainable development. Qualifying companies have CSR programs with measurable results that create both economic and social gains for a year or more, high levels of employee involvement, and strong strategic partnerships with Thai organizations.
The webinar was attended by 42 guests online and was followed by a live question and answer session, where member companies applying for ACE Awards 2020 could seek clarifications regarding the application process and other inquiries regarding how to get recognized for their CSR efforts.
In 2020, the event will be hosted on November 17.
