Award Summary: Honours a standout project that advances environmental, social and ESG goals

Judges assess: Measurable ESG outcomes, stakeholder involvement and sustainability

Award Description:

This award recognises a single outstanding project or initiative led by a business in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown that demonstrates real leadership in Environmental, Social, or Governance (ESG) practice. Whether focused on reducing carbon emissions, advancing social equity, improving governance structures, or building climate resilience — the project must show tangible outcomes and a commitment to long-term impact.

The project can be internal or external, small-scale or organisation-wide, but it must be purpose-driven, strategic, and aligned with ESG principles.

Why Enter?

This is your opportunity to highlight a specific initiative that reflects your company’s values in action. Whether you’ve delivered an innovative green solution, a community partnership programme, or introduced impactful governance reforms, this award recognises your efforts to embed sustainability and responsibility at the core of how you do business.

Being recognised for an ESG project can boost your credibility with clients, investors, and stakeholders — and demonstrate your commitment to building a better, more sustainable future.
