Being bold, being innovative, being ethical: Either one of these attributes, let alone all three of them, would be ideal to have in a leader.

That’s why the awardees of 3BL Media’s Responsible CEO of the Year Awards and Lifetime Achievement Award are all so unique — the recipients of these honors represent the best in bold and innovative leadership on environmental, social and governance issues.

3BL Media is proud to announce nominations for the 13th annual Responsible CEO of the Year Awards and 10th annual Lifetime Achievement Awards are now being accepted. Additional information and application materials, including nomination forms, can be found here.

A unique achievement among business honors, winners will be chosen by a judging panel consisting of past Responsible CEOs. All recipients will be announced at the 2020 Responsible CEO of the Year Awards and Recognition Dinner on Oct. 6, hosted by 3BL Forum: Brands Taking Stands® – Business Elects to Lead at Pier Sixty in New York City.

“CEOs are in a position to not only lead their respective companies but act as forces for good by championing a strong environmental, social and governance agenda,” said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL Media. “Some of the most challenging social issues of our time are being addressed in real-time by CEOs determined to use corporate resources to benefit people and planet without jeopardizing profits. Our awards recognize these courageous leaders.”

The deadline to nominate a CEO is Tuesday, March 31. All awardees will be notified by June 1.

Please note: To be eligible to receive these awards, a nominated CEO must attend the Responsible CEO of the Year Awards and Recognition Dinner on Oct. 6 in New York City.
