2018 Halo Awards Honor Top Corporate Social Impact Initiatives

Companies and Nonprofits Recognized at Engage for Good Conference

Submitted by Engage for Good

Campaigns that conserved acres for tigers, provided employment for individuals with criminal backgrounds, honored veterans and delivered meals to millions of kids struggling with hunger – all while building stronger businesses - were among the initiatives honored at the 16th annual Halo Awards. 

Twenty-eight category-specific winners were selected out of more than 125 entries by Engage for Good at its annual conference.

In addition, Salesforce (the global CRM leader) and Save the Children (a nonprofit focused on giving children a healthy start, an education, and protection from harm) each received a Golden Halo Award, the company’s highest honor, for their long-records of achievement at the intersection of profit and purpose.

Case studies of each winning campaign and profiles of the Golden Halo Award winners can be found at http://engageforgood.com/halo-awards
