About Us

Founded in 2015, the MakeChange Awards is one of the leading events that honors those companies and organizations creating the most positive social, economic, and environmental sustainability impact for a better world.

Honorees are evaluated based on the following criteria: 1) sustainable growth & financial performance, 2) innovation & creativity, 3) impacts and improvements, 4) customer/client & community engagement, 5) leadership management, 6) ethical business management, and 7) worker well-being.
