To maintain the credibility of the D&I in India Best Practice Awards, we work hard to ensure a robust and objective judging process. This includes the formation of a Judging Panel with representation of the senior members of the Community Business team as well as external stakeholders.
Each Judging Panel comprised:
at least two representatives from Community Business
at least one external expert/experienced D&I corporate professional
