The Business Post in partnership with PwC has announced details of the third annual edition of the PwC Business Post 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.

Past winners have included An Post, Bus Eireann, Bord na Mona and University College Cork.

Entry is entirely free and open to businesses of all sizes based in or operating from Ireland.

The awards, spanning 12 categories are adjudicated upon by an independent panel of experts in environmental, social and governance issues.

Daniel McConnell, Business Post Editor comments:

“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, 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.  We are delighted to again partner with the Business Post on this important initiative and look forward to the Awards ceremony on 21 March 2024
