Business Initiative Directions
Business Initiative Directions (BID) is a Madrid-based organisation selling what the Center for Investigative Reporting and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) have called "meaningless international awards", and are more widely known as "vanity awards".[1]
Botswana's Consumer Watchdog reported that the "so-called 'World Quality Commitment Convention', run by 'Business Initiative Directions' is remarkably similar to the equally ridiculous Bizz Awards scam we exposed some months ago."[2]
Jose E. Prieto is the president and CEO of Business Initiative Directions.[3]
BID market a number of awards:
- Century International Quality ERA Award (CQE)
- International Arch of Europe Award
- International Quality Crown Award
- International Star Award for Quality (ISAQ)
