Conscious Companies Awards 2020

Even in time of darkness.

In a year of dramatic change, brought about by the Conscious Companies Awards 2020, in partnership with Primeserv and Sanlam, have gone into cyberspace. The awards will now take place as a live virtual event on September 3, at 12 noon. The ethos of Conscious Companies is to create a socio-economic and political environment galvanised as an authentic expression of ethics and consciousness.

The Conscious Companies Awards trigger a chord in most business leaders who want to make a meaningful impact, define their companies and do things differently. The Awards are a precursor for visionary leaders to create a workplace of meaning and productivity and transform and uplift society, without losing sight of performance and profit. This is the creative brainchild of Brenda Kali, CEO and founder of Conscious Companies. The finalists over the years, are all inducted into the Counsel of Conscious Leadership. This forum is designed to affect attitudinal and behavioural change of the nation’s leadership in business, government and its citizenry. An opportunity for leadership to influence, guide and shape thinking is the core driver of Conscious Companies. Kali says: “Against the severe socio-economic and health challenges we currently find ourselves in, we have a profound opportunity to cultivate a deepened understanding of conscious leadership. The finalists have all been exceptional in navigating the current economic morass with humanity, care and a new way of being in a changing world. There is an ongoing battle in a number of countries between science and economics, as infections rise and the death toll continues to increase globally. The call to do things differently is no longer an option.”

The decision to go virtual ensures the permanence of the gala evening that comes at a time when true leadership around the globe is floundering and in a state of flux. A Special Conscious Leadership Award this year is going to an organisation for its exceptional contribution in answering the call to action during the current Covid-19 malaise. The Conscious Companies Awards 2020 finalists in the business and NGO categories are remarkable in shaping their companies and culture to create value beyond the bottom line.
