ESG is no longer just a label, it is a vital business consideration. Today it is necessary that climate and sustainability is factored into business models, into technology, into working practices and even the workspaces that we use. Technology plays a huge part in this. This award is for companies that have developed (or are developing) products or services that support the ESG ambitions and objectives of their industries, consumers, or clients. Entrants should have developed the technology in-house and own the IP. Successful nominees will be able to demonstrate how this is contributing to the growing push for sustainable practices and business, while reducing the impact of business on the environment.
