BRTA/LRTA in Action: Global Business Coalition Awards
The Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GBC) seeks to transform the business response to HIV/AIDS, promoting HIV prevention, care and treatment programs for the workplace and innovative partnerships with governments and civil society. Each year, the GBC presents its Awards for Business Excellence, recognizing innovative business responses to HIV and AIDS in companies around the world. The 2004 Awards will be presented in April, in Berlin, Germany.
The GBC instituted these awards in 1998 to recognize the valuable contribution made by business to the fight against HIV/AIDS, and to identify and promote the best of these as models of good practice.
For 2004, the GBC has expanded its awards to three categories:
- Business Excellence in the Workplace
- Business Excellence in the Community
- Individual Business Leadership

Who Can Enter
The Awards are restricted to businesses in the private sector. Applications are encouraged from companies from all industrial sectors, geographical regions and workforce size. Applications should be submitted for programs that are currently being implemented. Programs that include monitoring and evaluation components are particularly welcomed.
Companies may be nominated for an award by an NGO or public sector partners, but the entry must be made by the company itself: the GBC retains the right to publish case studies based on the entries received. Entering your company program signifies your willingness to make public its existence and certain non-commercially sensitive aspects of its content. Entries involving partnerships will be expected to offer references from the public and/or NGO partners.
The Judging Criteria
The expert judging panel is led by members of the GBC with representatives of UNAIDS and organisations of people living with HIV/AIDS.
Successful entries will show:
- Details of the process through which the program came about
- How the program is managed within the overall company structure
- The results of any monitoring or evaluation of the program
Entries must contain all the information requested in the entry form and be supported by relevant documents. These should be submitted in electronic form where possible. Photographic evidence of the program in action is welcomed.
