The previous editions of Champion of Good recognised organisations that were exemplary in corporate giving and influencing and engaging their stakeholders on a collaborative journey.

The enhanced Recognition System has been designed to recognise the contributions of organisations holistically for their commitment at the national level to corporate purpose and impact in the areas of People, Society, Governance, Environment and Economic.  

There is no need to apply separately for PVPA. Champions of Good conferred through the COG Recognition System from 2024 onwards will be eligible for PVPA nomination.

A separate judging process for PVPA nominees will determine the PVPA winners.

The conferred recognition marks are valid for:

• Champion of Good — (3 years)
• Company of Good - 1 to 3 Hearts — (2 years)

Organisations are welcome to reapply to be a recognised as a Company of Good within the validity. 

The COG Recognition System is designed to holistically recognise the efforts of organisations no matter where they are at in their corporate purpose journey. All organisations thus have the option to complete and submit either the Simplified or Full questionnaire in their efforts to be recognised.  

The Simplified Questionnaire (15 Questions) consists of a section on Organisation Information as well as a brief section on Corporate Purpose and efforts in the 5 Impact Areas. Organisations that submit this questionnaire will be considered for 1-heart recognition.  

The Full Questionnaire  (55 Questions) consists of a section on Organisation Information as well as detailed questions pertaining to Corporate Purpose and efforts in the 5 Impact Areas. Organisations that submit this questionnaire will be considered for differentiated recognition. Additionally, organisations that demonstrate exemplary efforts in influencing stakeholders for multiplied impact may be shortlisted for interviews with the COG Recognition System Judging Panel in order to be considered for Champion of Good recognition.
 

It would be best if local data is available. If the specific data set is reported at the global level, please apportion it to your Singapore operations on a pro-rated basis.         

Otherwise, your organisation may share these figures at a global level and indicate this under the ‘Remarks’ field after each section.
