The IMD-Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch annual distinguished family business award is being promoted with a new website at www.fbaward.com. The launch of the site marks the award’s ten years of existence and aims to further strengthen its reputation with family-owned businesses.

Lombard Odier said in a statement: “This widely recognized distinction now has a comprehensive information platform setting out its objectives, selection process and criteria.”

Since its creation, recipients of the award have included family-owned businesses such as Barilla, Bonnier, Samuel C. Johnson, Murugappa, Zegna, Henkel, Puig, Hermès, and LEGO. The name of the next winner will be announced on September 15, 2005 at the summit of the family business network, to be held in Brussels.
