“This award was born in New York in 2019 and continues to grow because it focuses on a simple and powerful idea: business, when guided by ethics, culture and responsibility, becomes one of the most effective bridges among peoples,” said Massimo Veccia, founder and president of the Business Care International Award.
“The Business Care International Award is one of the very few international awards held twice a year – in Rome and New York – because we believe that Italian excellence must be told and recognized in places where the economic and cultural future is shaped. We don’t just reward success. We reward those who generate shared value, those who return to society and future generations, who illuminate the world with authenticity. The 9th edition in New York – he added – is the moment when this vision becomes even more concrete and international. It is together a pride and responsibility that we continue to carry out with passion, thanks to the work of our jury and board, but also thanks to Barbara Wagner Communications for the support and collaboration that his Team has provided to our work in New York and the United States,” Veccia concluded.
