We are very proud winners of the Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa & JSE Integrated Reporting Awards 2014, in the category NGO.The Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa & JSE Awards, has been running since 1956. According to their website: “Reporting excellence is demonstrated when insight is provided without unnecessary clutter; when a balance is achieved between the three pillars of reporting - content, quality and integration.”“What makes us particularly proud, is the fact that this Integrated Report was produced in-house. No outside agency was commissioned. This is the third Report that we have produced and in 2012 we were a finalist in these awards for our very first Report. Congratulations to our brand and communications team, all of whom have spent time in the field as volunteer rescue crew on our rescue boats. It is very rewarding to be part of an organisation that is equally driven by passion and good governance.” said NSRI CEO, Dr Cleeve Robertson.Click here to see our integrated report.Cleeve and NSRI Director Meriel Bartlett attended the awards ceremony at Monte Casino together with our pro bono Company Secretary, Chris Wilson.Thanks to Avis for the sponsored car and the Indaba Hotel for sponsoring the accommodation.
