Business Post and PwC announce third annual Sustainable Business Awards
Entries are now being invited to the awards programme that has become a benchmark for excellence in sustainable business practice in Ireland
The PwC Business Post Sustainable Business Awards has been confirmed for its third annual edition, recognising leadership, innovation, investment and ingenuity in the areas of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).
Past winners of the awards include An Post, Bus Eireann, Bord na Mona and University College Cork.
Daniel McConnell, editor of the Business Post, said: “The Business Post invests more in ESG journalism than any other Irish national media outlet. In addition to daily news and analysis, plus a dedicated ESG newsletter, we produce the leading environmental journalism podcast Five Degrees of Change, hosted by Daniel Murray.
“The PwC Business Post Sustainable Business Awards have drawn considerable attention since their foundation, and we look forward to a substantial volume of entries from businesses both big and small once again this year.
“We are also very pleased to note the growing momentum of our Sustainable Business Awards Showcase events, which highlight the best practice found at winning organisations, and provide a network and inspiration to those seeking to become our next award winners. We thank PwC for their continuing support of our independent journalism, particularly with respect to our climate and environmental coverage.”
David McGee, PwC Ireland ESG Leader, said the awards “celebrate best in class Irish businesses across a wide range of ESG categories that invest in and promote sustainable practices, innovation and leadership.
“At PwC, we are working with clients across all industries as they address their reporting and transformation requirements to meet their climate and sustainability goals. We have made our own world wide science based commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.”
The awards, spanning 12 categories are adjudicated upon by an independent panel of experts in environmental, social and governance issues.
The winners of the 2024 awards will be announced during a gala ceremony on March 21 2024 at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dublin 4.
