CATEGORY 2 - Titanium Award for Best Integrated Report: Health Funders/Medical Schemes
King IV: The governing body should ensure that reports issued by the organisation enable stakeholders to make informed assessments of the organisation’s performance and its short-, medium- and long-term prospects.
Organisations are an integral part of society and the environment. Stakeholders want to know more about an organisation than its financials, e.g. its strategy, competitive position, empowerment endeavours, sustainability (broad definition) and SDG elements, including access to essential services (Constitutional mandate), impact on health status, healthcare quality and customer satisfaction, as well as other components like the organisation’s carbon footprint. Emphasis is placed on the value added by the organisation to stakeholders.
While the development of the integrated report is a moving target and may be a work in progress for all organisations, it reflects the level of governance and progress made in respect of the various elements of the operating environment.
This award seeks to recognise the organisation for the progress made, completeness, conciseness and usability of the report by stakeholders.
Who is eligible?
• Any BHF member who is a health funder.
