Reuters Events Responsible Business Awards are the world’s leading Awards celebrating leadership in sustainable business. It’s more than acknowledging excellent sustainability strategies. The Responsible Business Awards recognise those that are truly having an impact on business, society and the environment – delivering a new blueprint for business in the 21st Century.

For the past 12 years our Awards have served as the benchmark for businesses from across the globe that are looking to showcase real leadership, against their international peers. Over the past two years we’ve seen 32 winning entrants from 18 different countries. And, whilst this year we’re unable to recognise the leaders during a prestigious in person Awards gala, we will be celebrating the leaders with our global community, through a virtual Awards ceremony.

I could think of no better place to make our announcement today than among other businesses who understand that responsible business is good business

Winning the Award provided an energising boost to our team. There was a feeling that the external recognition brought additional credibility to the Supplier Exchange Platform and validated all of our hard work.
