Founded in 1987, the Lord Mayor’s Dragon Awards scheme
celebrates Corporate Community Involvement across Greater
London.
Applicants to the Dragon Awards nominate their community project
in a number of categories. All applicants are invited to an annual
awards ceremony hosted by the Lord Mayor at the Mansion House,
which presents a chance to share experiences and find out more
about the ways in which London-based businesses are actively
building stronger communities. Winners of the Dragon Awards receive
a highly coveted Dragon statuette and are recognised by their peers
and competitors as offering exemplary programmes of Corporate
Community Involvement.
The Dragon Awards are designed not only to improve the outlook
for communities but also to foster team work and mutual respect
between the businesses and their communities. The awards also
demonstrate the benefits that businesses can gain from such
involvement – notably in terms of development of new skills,
heightened creativity, new routes to market, and increased employee
motivation and retention.
The Dragon Awards are usually launched in May and the annual
awards ceremony is held in October.
For more information please see the
Dragon
Awards website for categories, application guidance and
online application forms. If you have any questions, please
telephone 020 7332 3608.
