About the Award
At Smollan we are committed to embedding the concept of a profound social impact as a core element of our strategy and purpose. We promote excellence and collaboration in building a business that deserves to last. It recognises the extraordinary effort, commitment and contribution of our employees, suppliers and partners to think, act and deliver in a manner that is pioneering, responsible and most of all sustainable to our communities and environment.
Ultimately, it is our goal to drive participation in social and environmental development projects, throughout the business.
