Two Z/Yen clients were up for top awards at this year’s UK Charity Awards 2002 sponsored by Charity Logistics and Charity Times. The British Heart Foundation was short-listed for Charity of the Year, but failed to secure top position against stiff competition. However, Z/Yen is delighted to announce that the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) won the Best Practice Award. Clive Anderson presented the Barclays-sponsored award to the MSC, at a gala, black tie dinner at Grosvenor House on 5 September. With a team of just twenty, the MSC is one of the smallest and youngest charities to win. The MSC won the Best Practice Award for the quality of its governance review and the MSC's economic model of the Alaskan Salmon fishing industry.As Z/Yen was heavily involved in both of these projects, we enjoy bathing in the reflected glory, although why the MSC have us swimming in penguin costumes is beyond us.
