This award recognises the work of a compliance team leading a successful initiative to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliance requirements into their frameworks and programmes. In this emerging field, this category will recognise initiatives that aim to overcome ESG-related challenges or meet ESG-related objectives.

The judging panel will consider how innovative approaches and technologies were used, the extent of internal and external collaboration, and how the initiative served to address common industry challenges related to ESG requirements or expectations. Judges will consider projects that relate to either ESG as a whole or to its individual elements of environmental, social and governance.

Eligibility

  • This category is open to all stakeholders working in the field of compliance.
  • Entries must demonstrate evidence from the last 12-18 months, up to the awards entry deadline.
  • Entries that do not address the entry criteria in detail will not be considered.
  • We welcome entries from teams and individuals working with or for businesses within Europe.

  • What problem or challenge were you trying to solve, or overcome?
  • Please share any other contextual information that will help judges understand the background to the submission.

Outcome
