The Highland Council Award for Purposeful Business

Please note: your information will not be saved until you click 'submit', so we recommend that you compose your entry in a separate document to avoid any issues.

A commitment to purposeful business allows organisations to solve the problems of people and the planet profitably, without harming either. This award will recognise the small or medium sized organisation that has best demonstrated how business can be both purposeful and profitable. The winner will be able to demonstrate how purpose drives their business model, and benefits their people, supply chain, communities, customers and the environment, whether locally, across the country, or beyond.

The judging criteria are as follows - a strong nomination will include reference to how the organisation is meeting these criteria.

1. Solving the problems of people and the planet profitably
2. Showing initiative in adopting and delivering purposeful practices
3. Providing positive outcomes to wider society
