The CII-ITC Sustainability Awards recognises and rewards excellence in businesses that are seeking ways to be more sustainable and inclusive in their activities. The awards are a part of the continued efforts to create awareness on sustainability practices and to create capacities in business. More than recognition, the awards measure performance and provide detailed feedback for opportunities to excel. In the past 12 years, cumulatively, 801 businesses have applied of which 236 have been recognised. The company says there are limited number of applications that are accepted to maintain strong competition and high standards of excellence.
