The Oliver Empowerment Awards are SA’s most influential awards recognising leadership and innovation in empowerment. The Awards are now in their 11th year and have become hugely prestigious and are considered the ultimate accolade by winning companies for their transformation activity.

Rigorously assessed and independently assured, they provide recognition for companies that are integrating empowering business practice and delivering positive impacts in the marketplace, in the workplace and in the community.

The Awards, with official media partners - Impumelelo and Business Report, are the primary means by which the Oliver Empowerment Awards identifies, celebrates and disseminates good practice and communicates the positive impact on business and society.

We use them to:

• Inspire companies to get involved or to do more in transformation
• Engage companies in our campaigns
• Support and challenge companies to benchmark and improve their performance
