Increasingly compliance teams are thinking ahead and integrating ESG compliance requirements into their frameworks and programmes. In this new and 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 international and local market collaboration involved, and how the initiative served to address common industry challenges related to ESG-related requirements or expectations. Judges will review projects that relate to all elements of Environmental, Social and Governance, -  or one focused area as applicable.
