Awards categories 2011
The Community Partnership Awards categories reflect the key areas of
relevance
to the food and drink sector.
Companies are welcome to submit more than one entry in any category, however,
each entry must be submitted separately.
Apprentices
This is a special category launched to support FDF's 2011 careers campaign
'Taste Success – A Future in Food'. You are invited to nominate an apprentice
who has
shown continuous progress in their work and studies or who has made an
outstanding contribution to the business through a one-off project.
Those
nominated
should be undertaking their apprenticeship at the time of nomination. The
nomination
can be made by a line manager, HR representative or college tutor.
Education
Entrants to this category will show how their company is engaging positively
with
schools - from primary, through to secondary, college and university
level.
Nominations could be for a one-off event, an ongoing contribution to lessons or
extracurricular school activities.
This can include: programmes designed to
give
students real-life experience of the world of work and partnerships with
schools
that support the national curriculum.
Entries can be made for both national and
local initiatives. Apprenticeships and other educational initiatives that are
specific to the workplace should be nominated within the Apprentices or Good
Employer categories.

Environment
One of FDF's key priorities is to make a contribution to improving the
environment.
We are looking for examples of why your company stands out in this
important
area of work.
We have two sections under Environment – one to reflect the
contribution that companies are making outside the factory gates to their local
community, and the other, to show how changes to working practices have reduced
environmental impact.
Entries in this category may be entered under ONE of the following criteria:
Consumer
Entries in the environment consumer category will showcase consumerfacing
initiatives designed to improve the sustainability of the local and wider
communities.
Nominations can include consumer awareness campaigns and initiatives to help
consumers improve their environment. Suitable nominations may include community
recycling initiatives, and campaigns to engage with consumers on environmental
issues such as food waste.
Business
Entries in the environment business category will showcase how your business
is
working to reduce its environmental impact. Suitable nominations may include
initiatives connected to reducing carbon emissions, packaging, waste, transport
miles and water use.

Good employer
We are looking for examples of why your company is a great place to work. You
may have an excellent 'people strategy' designed to recognise and nurture
in-house
talent, you may offer an innovative employee support package, have a unique
approach to team building or you may go 'above and beyond' to design a flexible
working approach.
Any nominations must specifically benefit your company's employees. Health and
wellbeing initiatives should be nominated under the Health and Wellbeing
category.

Health & wellbeing
This is one of FDF's key priority areas, aiming to make a positive difference to
the health of the nation.
Entries in this category may be entered under ONE of the following criteria:
People
The 'People' category will show how your business is working to improve the
health and wellbeing of your consumers across the UK. This can include
sponsoring or
supporting the arts, sporting events or activities and working with local media
to raise awareness of local issues. Initiatives to encourage increased exercise
or healthier lifestyles are also eligible for this category.
Products
Entries in this category will show how your company is innovating and
reformulating to create 'better for you' products that help consumers lead
healthier lives.
Examples of what this can include are: developing new products, reformulation
and providing a wider variety of portion sizes to suit consumer needs.
Workplace Wellbeing
Entries in this category will showcase initiatives that specifically benefit the
health and wellbeing of employees of your organisation. This can include
projects or incentives to promote educational initiatives or healthy living
&
lifestyles in the workplace, for example free fruit deliveries, lunchtime
fitness classes
or health checks.

Local community
Entrants to this category must demonstrate how your company makes a positive
difference to improve the welfare of your immediate local community.
Nominations can include activities that support specific elements of a local
community such as the elderly or socially disadvantaged. They can also include
activities that support the whole local community such as regeneration projects.
