Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award

Recognizing programs that advance ethics, equity, education, and community impact across the mobility ecosystem.

The CSR Award honors initiatives that strengthen social outcomes: fair labor, inclusive workplaces, road-safety education, STEM programs, and community partnerships that align corporate purpose with measurable public benefit.

Entries should demonstrate transparent governance, multi-year commitment, and results that matter to people and places.

Selection Criteria

  • CR-01 Social outcomes | 30%: Measured and attributable benefit for people or communities.
  • CR-02 Equity, access and participation | 20%: Meaningful inclusion in design, access, delivery and benefit.
  • CR-03 Ethics, safeguarding and remedy | 25%: Controls that prevent harm, protect participants and provide credible remedy.
  • CR-04 Sustained capability and partnerships | 15%: Durable capacity, resourcing and accountable partnership arrangements.
  • CR-05 Transparency and learning | 10%: Open reporting of methods, limitations, outcomes and improvement.
All five criteria are mandatory. Jurors rate each criterion from 0 to 5; the verified E0-E4 evidence tier caps the usable rating.
