2020 Resilience Awards

In 2020 we suspended our annual Smart50 Awards to do things a little differently, and to recognise that how we do business has changed in fundamental ways, perhaps even permanently.

In the inaugural SmartCompany Resilience Awards, we celebrated the businesses that withstood the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, spotted new opportunities, deepened their ties to their communities, and put their people first.

We recognised businesses in four categories — Adaptation, Community, People and Agility — which you can read more about below.
