About the EY Family Business Award of Excellence
The EY Family Business Award of Excellence recognizes exceptional entrepreneurs who lead some of the world’s most successful, multigenerational family enterprises. Our 2019-20 winners are from many different sectors and, they are all true innovators and, more often than not, lead their market and contribute significantly to their communities.
The Family Business Award of Excellence is part of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program and takes place in more than 20 countries worldwide. With just 15% of all family-owned businesses surviving beyond the second generation, according to the Family Business Institute, the winners stand as a testament to the unique resilience, values, long-term vision and entrepreneurial spirit that characterize the world’s most successful family enterprises.
