Thank you for your interest in applying for the 2024 Inclusive and Democratic Business Models (IDBM) Impact Award.  This award is designed to recognise and celebrate businesses that leverage their stakeholder voice and shared values to drive exceptional impact beyond the business for the communities they serve and/or environmentally over the past year.

As you complete this application, we encourage you to reflect on the ways your business has integrated these principles into its operations, contributing not only to your financial success but also to the broader social and economic wellbeing of your employees, customers, members and/or and communities.

The IDBM Impact Award is more than just a recognition of success; it is a celebration of the innovative approach that is shaping the future of business in Scotland. We look forward to learning about your achievements and the ways in which your business is setting a standard for others to follow.

Please ensure that all sections of the application are completed in full and that you provide clear, concise examples of your impact. We value transparency and are particularly interested in understanding both the challenges you’ve faced and the solutions you’ve implemented.

Good luck with your application and thank you for being a part of this important initiative.
