PORTLAND, Ore., August 31, 2022 – NAVEX, the leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced the finalists of the second annual NAVEX Customer Excellence Awards. These awards recognize organizations for the effectiveness and positive impact of their ethics and compliance, integrated risk management, and environmental, social and governance programs.

Thoughtful Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) programs strengthen workplace culture which in turn improves productivity. At the same time, these programs help identify and mitigate risk.

“Congratulations to this year’s award finalists on their outstanding programs. Our customers’ GRC initiatives are continuously put to the test and we’re proud to be part of their success,” said Steve Chapman, NAVEX chief customer officer. “These annual excellence awards allow us to recognize some of the most innovative and effective programs around the world.”
