Welcome to the

Excellence Awards

The Excellence Awards are an series of annual awards for companies showing quantifiable and consistent performance over time.

Corporate Excellence Award

Business management aspects of Corporate Excellence have been covered in specialist literature for more than 50 years. Hérens Quality Asset Management was one of the pioneers worldwide to apply corresponding findings from the Corporate Excellence debate to stock selection systematically and globally. Corporate Excellence principle is not new and the difference in sustainable Quality is often very substantial. Hérens Quality Asset Management incorporates its experience in systematic Quality analysis in presenting the Corporate Excellence Award to companies that have managed to demonstrate excellence over the years.

Goal

With the Corporate Excellence Award, Hérens Quality Asset Management is above all seeking to recognize companies with excellent track records in terms of both their historical and current performance. Valuations are NOT taken into account. The award is therefore not aimed at giving an investment recommendation, nor at ensuring that a company will also be able to maintain its Excellence Status going forward.

More about the CEA Award

Incremental Excellence Award

Herens Quality Asset Management proudly introduces the Incremental Excellence Award (IEA), a distinguished initiative aimed at acknowledging companies that have taken significant strides in enhancing their status as responsible corporate citizens towards all stakeholders, including society, employees, the environment, and shareholders. Our objective is to recognize those companies that are on the path to ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) excellence, even if they haven’t reached perfection in this area. We believe that it is precisely the journey from the bottom to the top that has the most profound impact.


IEA emerged as a natural extension of our successful organization of the Corporate Excellence Award (CEA), which has been running since 2008. The CEA is dedicated to recognizing fundamental corporate quality, reflecting our unwavering commitment to the significance of corporate excellence. Another core value that we hold dear is responsible corporate behavior, and we firmly believe that significant improvements and impacts are made when evaluating a company’s progress in terms of ESG.

Goal

Companies that constantly increase their sustainability commitment should be motivated and supported. The ones, which improve, have more tangible impact with regards to the cumulative footprint compared to those, which already comply with the strictest ESG standards.
