February 15, 2022 /CSRwire/ - In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, Engage for Good celebrates companies and causes that truly ‘get it’ – companies with heart – with the announcement of this year’s Halo Award finalists.

Now in its 20th year, the Halo Awards are North America’s highest honor for corporate social impact initiatives that showcase outstanding consumer and/or employee engagement efforts.

“A wealth of terrific entries made choosing the Halo finalists quite challenging this year,” said Engage for Good President David Hessekiel. “In spite of the pandemic, companies and causes partnered to take on social issues from unjust hiring practices to fighting disease in remarkable, sustainable ways.”

Forty campaigns were announced today as finalists in 10 Halo Award categories. Gold and Silver Halo Award winners will be announced in each category at the Engage for Good Conference in Atlanta on May 18. Please join us in congratulating these finalists:
