There are four categories of awards:
Policies: This category recognizes companies’ efforts to design, implement and monitor the compliance of gender equality–related policies. Policies are formal documents, approved by the organization’s leadership. Their implementation of the policy is verified to make sure policies are actively practiced, and their relevance is evaluated to ensure the policy is current and serving its desired purpose.
Projects: This category recognizes companies’ tangible successful projects that involve the provision of hardware, equipment, construction, or provision of physical facilities that advance gender equality in the workplace.
Initiatives: This category recognizes companies’ successful programs that can advance gender equality through training, internships, mentorship, networking, scholarships, and other initiatives but do not involve physical facilities, hardware, or equipment.
Innovation: This category aims to recognize activities that are not included in the three above categories and that bring to the sector an advancement or achievement that has not been previously observed.
