“The Compass Awards recognize the important efforts of our member companies to make a positive difference for workers and the environment,” said Rob Lederer, CEO of the Responsible Business Alliance. “We applaud the winners and other finalists for their outstanding work related to the vision and mission of the RBA.”
The winners were announced during a virtual ceremony on April 6 after the finalists in each category presented the programs and projects they submitted to the 2020 Compass Awards. Their best practices case studies will be shared with all members of the RBA for educational purposes.
