The VIRTUS award was established in 2007 as the first and most important award for corporate philanthropy in Serbia, promoting corporate social responsibility as an integral part of the sustainable development of companies. It is intended for both large companies and small and medium enterprises, as well as individuals who have, during 2014, contributed in the most effective way to the general good by providing material or other support to non-profit activities or civil society organizations.
The award ceremony will be held in Belgrade, in late January 2016. The winners will be decided by an independent jury comprised of renowned individuals and experts from the world of economy, civil sector, media and marketing.
