2021 Standard Bank Top Women Award winners
The winners of 18th annual Standard Bank Top Women Awards were announced at a special evening ceremony earlier this month. These annual awards recognise and honour outstanding leadership, inspiration, vision, and innovation in organisations of all levels that help women rise to the top of the economic ladder.
The Standard Bank Top Women Awards, hosted by Topco Media, recognise people who have had a considerable influence on women in South Africa by their unwavering vision and innovative leadership.
“Together, we honour and applaud outstanding leadership, ingenuity, vision and innovation in organisations that play a significant role in advancing women in our economy. We believe that by empowering women, we can play our part in accelerating growth in Africa,” says Ralf Fletcher, CEO, Topco Media. “Thus far, we have brought together tens of thousands of strong women from multiple sectors across the nation, certifying more than 2,000 organisations annually as Top Women entities, and celebrating exemplary candidates each year at our coveted awards ceremony.”
Previous winners have gone on to achieve greater success such as representing the country at a UN level. To see the full list of finalists, visit www.topbusinesswomen.co.za. Sponsors this year included Servest, Sanbi, and Boschendal.
