The critical importance of Duty of Care in building sustainable and resilient organizations is coming to the fore. The Duty of Care Awards are a platform to facilitate discussion, share best practice, stimulate innovation and drive up standards. To keep this fresh we have a combination of established successful categories, such as 'Sustainability' and a new one this year with the 'Belt & Road Initiative' category."
