AIB walked away winners of the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Award, sponsored by Coillte, the state owned forestry business. Mary Whitelaw, Director of Corporate Affairs, Strategy and Sustainability, AIB, was overjoyed with the win and thanked them for recognising AIB’s achievements.
The ESG award means a huge amount to us in AIB. We place ESG at the heart of our business strategy, and this award represents the work of a number of years, our sustainability team and the collaboration for teams all across the bank.
