Finalists of Business & Finance ESG Awards announced

The finalists of the 2025 Business & Finance ESG Awards, in association with Grant Thornton, have been announced.

The awards recognise the efforts of companies in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, and celebrate those driving change through innovative policies, technology solutions, and sustainable business practices.

Well known organisations including An Post, Dublin Port Company, Bord Gáis Energy, Aldi and Keelings are among the finalists across the multipe award categories.

The winners will be revealed at an awards ceremony next month at The Mansion House, Dublin.

The ESG Leader Award will be presented to Mary Robinson, recognising her dedication to sustainability, climate justice, and social equity on both a national and global scale.

“The calibre of entries for the 2025 Business & Finance ESG Awards reflects the remarkable strides taken by organisations across Ireland in integrating sustainability at the core of their business strategies,” said Tracey Carney, Managing Director, Business & Finance.

“We are seeing a significant shift towards collective responsibility, where entire teams are driving change and delivering measurable ESG impact.

“The finalists announced today demonstrate how ESG principles are shaping the future of responsible business,” she added.
