On behalf of the club, director Marina Granovskaia accepted the award from World Sport Organization president Thomas Di Gianantonio at Stamford Bridge.
The World Sport Organisation, an independent, non-profit organization, promotes global cooperation to promote the positive impact that professional sport, and particularly those who compete in it, can have on humanity.
As part of that goal, they hold the annual Football Reputation Awards to recognize clubs and players who have led the way in promoting a better world and raising awareness of the power of sport to influence positive social change.
Every year, three awards are given out: one to a club, one to a player, and one to a former player.
All three awards are judged on ten criteria, including how individuals set a positive example for society, promote peace, sustainability, and healthy living, and oppose discrimination, inequality, and poverty.
