Golden Peacock Awards for the (Year 2025-2026)

Today, an organisation’s success is defined not only by financial performance but also by its commitment to sustainability—through the future of CSR and the integration of ESG principles into core business strategies. At the intersection of CSR, HR Excellence, and Innovation Management, progressive boards must focus on four critical dimensions: strategy, structure, competencies, and culture—the true levers of long-term value creation.

Golden Peacock Awards, instituted by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India completes 34 glorious years, which is now regarded as hallmark of Corporate Excellence, both locally and globally. This is largely due to its robust transparent evaluation process and determination of clear criteria. No award has achieved such respectability as the Golden Peacock, which today receives around 1000 applications a year for various categories.

Competition brings out the best among our businesses and society. Over the years, the Golden Peacock Award Excellence Model and Certification exercise, based on its internationally recognized Self-Assessment criteria, has helped Industries to think, strategise, assess, march ahead and prepare for the rapidly changing future of work, education, and the economy. Its earnest desire has been and is to recognise the achievements of well performing organizations, in each respective business sector.
