> Process
1 IBR-IRE sends a call to participate in the Awards for Best Belgian Sustainability to its network and spreads it through the organisations that support it (The Shift, Antwerp Manage- ment School, Unizo, UCM, MVO Vlaanderen and the Belgian Chambers of Commerce).
2 Eligible organisations apply online by filling out the applica- tion form. All sustainability reports are published on the website on an ongoing basis.
3 IBR-IRE staff conducts an initial screening of the partici- pating organisations to ensure that they meet the size criteria of the category of organisation for which they applied (Larges, SMEs or Others). In this year’s edition of the Awards, the “SMEs” category had to be withdrawn as there were not enough participants that met the criteria. The SMEs that applied have therefore been reallocated to the “large” or “other” organisations categories.

IBR-IRE staff appoints a Jury consisting of several experts in the area of sustainability and SDGs reporting.
IBR-IRE staff organises the evaluation process by the Jury in two phases. In the first phase, IBR-IRE staff allocates reports per size of organisations to “sub-juries”. Each Jury member evaluates in this first phase around 10 reports using the criteria based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Stand- ards and developed by IBR-IRE (see below).
Based on this first assessment, the Jury meets to discuss and deliberate to short-list the top rated reports per category of Awards for the second round. All Jury members (re)eval- uate all reports coming out of the first phase (around 10-15 reports) using the same criteria.
Based on this second assessment, the Jury meets again to select winners and nominees.
Nominees for the Awards for Best Impact Sustainability Reports are announced to the public by email and on the website prior to the event.
Winners are announced publicly during the ceremony of the Awards (Tuesday 29 November 2022). Nominees have the
Methodology
Jury members are requested to rate the applications on a scale from 0 (neutral/negative) to 10/25 (positive) by applying the evaluation criteria and identifying the top selected initi- atives.
The Jury acts on an ad honorem basis and follows the prin- ciple of “independent” votes ensuring that Jury members do not evaluate reports in which they have a conflict of interest.
IBR/IRE staff compiles scores from all individual Jury members and shares the results with the Jury on a first meeting to enable the Jury to discuss reports and ratings.
      > Evaluation Criteria
Originally an environmental Award, the Awards for Best Belgian Sustainability Reports evolved to become a full Sustainability Award for which the evaluation criteria have largely been aligned to the GRI Standards and include the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. However, it is important to note that sustainability reports based on national frameworks, Union-based frameworks or international frameworks are also eligible to the Awards. The purpose of this initiative is also to put forward reports on the basis of one particular criterion, not necessarily GRI-based. Each report will be evaluated against the following sets of evaluation criteria (see volun- tary guidance given to the Jury).
