WASHINGTON, DC-- Pfizer, Gap and Fireman's Fund were among the nine
corporations that took home the highly-coveted PR News award for outstanding Corporate Social Responsibility. The winners, saluted at an event held today at the National Press Club, were lauded for both the execution of successful CSR initiatives and for effectively communicating those efforts to various constituencies.
Winners were awarded in eight categories critical to CSR success, from Business Ethics to Philanthropy Communications to Community Relations. Honorable mentions rounded out the awards program, for a total of 29 organizations selected for their social responsible work during the 2005 judging period.
"This year's winners have redefined Corporate Social Responsibility, particularly PR's role in CSR," says Diane Schwartz, vice president and group publisher of PR News. "The teams that executed outstanding CSR initiatives are reaping the benefits in terms of reputation, market share, mind share and global good deeds."
Presented by PR News, the leading trade publication covering the PR trade, this is the only national honor celebrating Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), in which corporations successfully demonstrate that altruism, philanthropy and employee commitment to "do good" can go a long way towards making an impact on a community, key stakeholders, and a company's bottom line.
The award winners were announced during a two-hour ceremony in which Doug Cahn, vice president of Human Rights Programs at Reebok, gave the keynote presentation. PR News' CSR Awards are sponsored by cause-branding agency leader Cone Inc, along with Flag and CSRwire. The PR News family of products includes PR News, the Platinum PR Awards, PR People Awards, CSR Awards, The 100 Best Case Studies Book, Guidebook to Best Practices in CSR; Guidebook to Best Practices in Measurement and the upcoming Crisis Management Guidebook.
