The four categories for this year’s Competition include Best Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) project, Best job creation and business development project, Best education and training project and Best unconventional project.
An international jury, comprising WCF leadership along with representatives’ from transnational, national and local chambers of commerce, as well as recognised international organisations’ is responsible for shortlisting category finalists who go on to present their respective projects during the biennial ICC WCF World Chambers Congress.
The Competition is an unparalleled opportunity to raise the profile of chambers’ ground-breaking projects and initiatives. By providing some much-deserved visibility, these projects have the ability to not only benefit business but society as a whole.
