Best Corporate Steward Finalists

Watch the Finalist Video

The Citizen for this category goes to companies that are responsive and responsible members of society, whose overall values, operational practices, and stakeholder strategies exemplify “shared value.” A corporate steward understands and sustains the linkages between it and society. 

The legacy of this category began in 2003, when the 34^th Secretary of Commerce, Donald L. Evans; author and scholar Michael Novak; and Harvard Business Professor Michael Porter joined with BCLC to launch the award. The founding vision for identifying and applauding good corporate stewardship remains influential in the criteria and judging process.
