Corporate Social Responsibility Award: CENTRESTAGE
The Corporate Social Responsibility Award celebrates a business which has accepted its duty ot corporate social responsibility and promoted inclusion in the workplace, community or other area, leading to the enrichment of the lives of those who have a disability or are disadvantaged.
The winner of the 2022 GBEA Corporate Social Responsibility Award is CentreStage.
This is another award for CentreStage to add to its trophy cabinet, having won the GBEA Health and Wellbeing Promoting Workplace Award in 2019 and 2021, as well as the Small Business Award in 2020.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to Geelong and surrounding locals that CentreStage has received accolades at the GBEAs for four years running. As Australia’s largest amateur musical theatre company, CentreStage aims to create inspiring projects that foster new talent and develop skills, whilst listening to what audiences want.
Maintaining a consistently strong and inclusive theatre, CentreStage’s mission statement is ‘to provide access to the arts, through theatre and education, to as many people in our community’.
“CentreStage has played a positive role in the community by supporting local businesses, investing in environmentally conscious strategies, and encouraging charity and volunteer work,” the judges stated.
“They also have a comprehensive mental health commitment for staff, volunteers, performers, students, and families.”
