Focus Awards is a progressive and innovative Awarding Organisation. Established in 2011, Focus Awards promotes, subscribes to and maintains three core values:

 

Honesty

We take pride in our honesty and transparency, which informs all our dealings with staff, stakeholders and the general public.

 

Integrity

We commit to the tenets and principles of integrity in all its forms. We do what we say we will do, when we say we will do it, and hold all our people to account.

 

Fairness

We treat everyone the way we would like to be treated. We put people before profit. We do this regardless of background, ethnicity, cultural heritage, beliefs, colour or creed.

 

These values underpin everything we do, and we back them with an absolute commitment to excellence.
