DIVERSITY AWARDS 2025 Selection Criteria

Information on the selection process

Submitted projects will be evaluated by the jury consisting of ambassadors, experts, and Nordic Chamber of Commerce Board members.
Three winners will be selected.
The name of organization submitting the project is not disclosed to the jury. Each member of the jury reads the projects without the project cover page.

The jury will assess the project as provided via the application form considering the following:

Innovation

How innovative is the project. Is it a new approach to diversity?

Scalability / Replicability

How easy is it for other companies to copy the project and carry it out within their own environment. How easy is it to grow the project to have a larger impact on more employees.

Impact

How significant is the impact of the project. Either having less personal impact, but on a large amount of people, or having a very significant impact on a few people.

Sustainability

How easy is it to keep the project sustainable and having a continuous impact over several years.

Locally Developed

Has the idea been locally initiated and developed for the Czech environment? Has the project been developed based on an idea from a sister company or mother company abroad? (We will credit projects which have been copy-pasted from Headquarters as less interesting.)

Evaluation

After a thorough evaluation process, 3 nominees will be selected.
The announcement of winners will take place during the award ceremony that is planned for February 19, 2026.

Publicity

The Nordic Chamber will actively promote the competition and the Awards Ceremony through various media channels, including press releases, social media, newsletters, videos, and the Chamber's official website.

This publicity and visibility aim to raise awareness about the importance of diversity and inclusion and inspire others to act.

Disclaimer

The name of organization submitting the project is not disclosed to the jury. Each member of the jury reads the projects without the knowledge of name of the company.

Should any member of the jury be directly involved in the organization/company, or a project submitted for the Diversity Award 2025, he/she will abstain from voting. His/Her votes for submitted project will be distributed to other members equally and fairly.
