Finalists for the second Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Awards, in association with Business & Finance, have been announced. The ESG Awards will take place at a Gala Luncheon at The Round Room in the Mansion House, Dublin on April 20th, 2023. See here for full list of finalists.
Sustainability is possibly the most important and urgent issue of our time and ESG provides criteria that companies can measure, benchmark, and report against. The growing impetus to ensure ESG standards are met by companies has introduced a whole new range of ideas, solutions and products that are changing the way we do business. The ESG Awards celebrates those whose internal practices and policies are driving effective decision-making, sustainable growth and actively striving to address and progress ESG issues in their organisation.
The Awards will showcase the successes of ESG initiatives, examples of best practice and highlight the importance of transparency in this area across 14 categories which include three new awards. The new categories are the ESG Team Award, the Future ESG Leader Award and the ESG Innovation Award. The ESG Awards’ esteemed judging panel will adjudicate on all entries across a range of criteria and recognise those setting the standards for ESG Excellence.
The second Business & Finance ESG Awards will take place on April 20th in the Round Room at The Mansion House. Event partners include UrbanVolt, SSE Airtricity, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School, Ibec, Enterprise Ireland, Unicef Ireland, Onclusive, Clearstory, Flogas Enterprise, Aviva and Gas Networks Ireland.
