\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

\n\t
\n\t\t[vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Consider the strengths of your report when choosing the categories. For example, if your report discloses extensively on climate-related risks and opportunities, it may be a good idea to submit your report for the \u201cAsia\u2019s Best Climate Report\u201d category. Referring to past winners’ reports may also be helpful in benchmarking your report’s disclosure quality and extent.<\/p>\n

Each ASRA category offers four levels of recognition: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze<\/strong>. The top-ranked entry in each category will receive the Platinum Award. The second, third, and fourth place entries will be honoured with the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Awards, respectively. Submissions are rigorously evaluated by a panel of expert judges. These distinctions recognize the highest levels of achievement in reporting.<\/p>\n
