Advice for Applicants

Developing your entry can be a great opportunity to “self-examine” your company’s “values in action.”

Tell your own story (judges not looking for some ideal)Pay close attention to Tab 4 -- “How

well you do what you say you stand for.”

Typical Concerns

We don’t have an “ethics/compliance program” -- we’re too small.

Seems like a lot of work !

What do we get out of this ?
