When lawyers reward companies for CSR (EticaNews, 23 April 2018)

The De Luca & Partners law firm has launched a prize for the most responsible companies in terms of employment and human resources, with these issues considered strategic levers for businesses. Candidacies to be submitted by 31 July. The director of ETicaNews will also sit on the panel of judges.

Normally, it is law firms who contribute towards awarding prizes. This time, the roles have been reversed. And it is significant that this inversion concerns an aspect of CSR. Over the last few days, De Luca & Partners, specialised in employment law and industrial relations, launched the first edition of the Excellence & Innovation HR Award, a reward for the most responsible companies.

Candidacies, which must be submitted no later than 31 July 2018 following the instructions detailed on the official HR Award site, will be assessed according to a series of criteria:

• the ability to promote competitiveness and productivity;
• the ability to promote social cohesion and resolve conflicts;
• the ability to pursue the development and wellbeing of the individual;
• wide vision and capacity;
• inclusivity.

The short-list of finalists will be announced by 30 November 2018 and the award ceremony will take place in December through a dedicated event.
