Recognising excellence in sustainable development and social responsibility is crucial for building momentum toward a greener future. BAM is proud to sponsor the Sustainable Business Impact Awards once again.
“Congratulations to all participants and winners, with special recognition to Tesco Ireland. It was a privilege to serve on the judging panel, the calibre of this year’s submissions was truly inspiring, each entry raised the bar for innovation and commitment to sustainability.”
Speaking after Tesco Ireland were awarded the overall prize, Margaret Considine, President of Chambers Ireland, said: “We are inspired by Tesco Ireland’s example and that of the winners of the other award categories, who have put sustainability at the core of their operations. It is testament to their commitment to their belief that economic success can be married with a positive social and environmental impact.
“These awards reflect the commitment and collective achievements of whole organisations. Their achievements serve as a clear signal that sustainable business is the way forward and as examples to other businesses that sustainability matters.”
