[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced that it is accepting nominations for candidates for the ‘2020 Best CEO Award, Best Worker Award, and Industrial Peace Award,’ which recognize businesspeople and workers who have contributed to revitalizing the local economy and developing the local community, until the 31st of this month.

This award ceremony was established to boost the morale of businesspeople and workers and to foster a spirit of corporate loyalty and industrial peace, with one recipient selected and honored in each category.

The ‘Best CEO Award’ evaluates five criteria: corporate growth potential, regional industrial development, employee welfare, export competitiveness, and social contribution activities.

The ‘Best Worker Award’ assesses three criteria: the craftsman’s diligence, contributions to technological development and quality improvement, and social contribution.

The ‘Industrial Peace Award’ is selected through evaluation of four criteria: labor-management harmony, improvement of industrial accidents and working conditions, productivity enhancement, and social contribution.

Economic-related institutions, organization heads, or company representatives wishing to apply should prepare recommendation letters and supporting documents for CEOs and workers who meet the nomination criteria and submit them to the Corporate Support Team of the Regional Economy Division at Gwangyang City Hall.

The final selection will be made by conducting document reviews and on-site verification of the submitted candidates, followed by deliberation by the Corporate Love Merit Review Committee, with the awards ceremony scheduled for December.

Each awarded company will receive benefits such as △additional preferential interest rates on small and medium enterprise loans for the next three years △priority support and recommendation for administrative and financial support projects △invitations to major city events △and promotion of the company or businessperson.
