THE Glasgow Chamber of Commerce has introduced a new business resilience category for its Glasgow Business Awards, for which The Herald is media partner.
Sponsored by Glasgow City Innovation District, the new award will recognise companies and organisations that have shown a proactive approach to safeguarding their operations through resilience planning, ensuring that they can continue to operate when disruption occurs.
This can include cyber-attack response, supply chain disruption, high employee turnover or damage to business premises or equipment – all of which can be highlighted through the new award.
Richard Muir, deputy chief executive of Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, said: “Resilience is a great business quality weaved into some of our other categories. This year, however, we felt 2022 was a perfect time to give full recognition to excellent resilience planning and employee engagement which has enabled Glasgow businesses to thrive."

He added: "Shining a light on innovative approaches, use of technology and employee training as a means to strengthen business resilience will be of great value to other organisations within our local business community.”
Alisdair Gunn, Glasgow City Innovation District project director, said: “We are delighted to be part of this year’s Glasgow Business Awards and sponsoring the brand-new Award for Business Resilience."
He also said: "We look forward to seeing the entries and learning how companies have used innovative approaches in their resilience planning.”
Glasgow City Innovation District is a partnership between Glasgow City Council, University of Strathclyde, Scottish Enterprise, Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, and Entrepreneurial Scotland.
The Glasgow Business Awards returns for its 24th year with a black-tie ceremony on Thursday October 6, 2022.
Sponsored by Royal Bank of Scotland, the awards recognise businesses and individuals across 17 categories.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
