ICSAZ’s Excellence in Corporate Governance acclaims are Zimbabwe’s most prestigious awards. They recognise organisations for demonstrating best practices in corporate governance. The Institute’s annual Excellence in Corporate Governance Awards were introduced in 2013. The recognitions are Zimbabwe’s most prestigious awards for corporate governance. They aim to promote Zimbabwe’s corporate governance standards by recognising corporate governance practitioners and organisations that, according to the Institute’s set criteria and in the opinion of an adjudication panel, represent the best practices for benchmarking excellence in corporate governance in the country. To date, the Institute has received tremendous support for the Awards from the government, regulators, the corporate sector and professional counterparts.
