Reda El Medaker, a 27-year-old Moroccan scholar, has been nominated for the Raymond Vatier International Award, one of the most prestigious honors in the fields of social auditing and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The award’s final deliberations are scheduled for April 7–8 in Geneva.

Educated entirely in Morocco, from preparatory classes to ENCG Tangier, El Medaker represents a new generation of researchers bridging national academic foundations with international impact. His work in social auditing and CSR has gained recognition for its originality and relevance, ranking among leading doctoral research projects globally.

Working alongside Rachid Mchich and Said Loukil, El Medaker contributed to a research project rooted in Moroccan and African contexts while engaging with European academic frameworks. The study examines how social auditing can enhance accountability and performance in public institutions and enterprises, proposing governance models inspired by private-sector best practices.

The project emphasizes integrating social responsibility into strategic decision-making, offering practical approaches to improving public sector efficiency and governance.

The Raymond Vatier International Award, established in honor of Raymond Vatier, recognizes outstanding academic contributions in social auditing and CSR. Winners are selected by an international jury of academics and experts, including leading figures in the discipline.

El Medaker has already received several African and international awards for the impact and scope of his research. His nomination as a finalist further underscores the growing global recognition of Moroccan scholarship in governance and sustainability studies.
