[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Moon Seung-wook) and the Korea Productivity Center (Chairman Ahn Wan-gi) announced that they will accept nominations for the '2022 National Productivity Award Government Commendation' until the 15th of next month to honor the contributions of those who have improved productivity and to boost morale.

The National Productivity Award is a government commendation system that discovers companies, corporations, organizations, and individuals who have contributed to national economic development by creating outstanding business performance through exemplary productivity improvement activities. It was established as a private commendation in 1962 and changed to a government commendation in 1987.

The award categories include the Grand Prize, which comprehensively evaluates a company's productivity management system, the Special Award category that evaluates excellent cases of productivity innovation, and the individual merit category. Awards such as the Order of Industrial Service Merit, Industrial Medal, Presidential Citation, Prime Minister's Citation, and Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Citation are presented.

Once applications are completed, candidates who meet the award requirements undergo a strict process including preliminary review by a panel of experts for each category, document review, on-site verification, merit evaluation, and public verification to determine the final award candidates.

The Korea Productivity Center plans to hold an explanatory session in a hybrid online and offline format on the 23rd to provide guidance. Individual explanatory sessions for applying companies are also scheduled.
