The Business Post Sustainable Business Awards celebrate outstanding leadership, innovation and impact in sustainability across Ireland’s business community. Now in their fifth year, the Awards have become a benchmark for excellence in Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) practice, recognising organisations of all sizes that are driving meaningful progress towards a more sustainable economy and society.
The EV Awards will return in 2026 as part of the Sustainable Business Awards, bringing together the full sustainability ecosystem under one event. This expanded programme underscores how innovation in low-carbon transport, renewable energy and broader decarbonisation strategies are integral to Ireland’s ambition to build greener, more resilient business models. Ireland’s business landscape is increasingly defined by commitments to circular economy principles, carbon reduction targets and investment in sustainable solutions that deliver long-term environmental and commercial value.
Past winners have included An Post, Bus Eireann, Bord na Mona and University College Cork.
The awards are adjudicated upon by an independent panel of experts in environmental, social and governance issues.
Entry to the Awards is entirely free and open to all businesses based in or operating from Ireland. The winners of the 2026 awards will be announced during a gala ceremony on Thursday October 1st 2026 at the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin 2.

“The Business Post invests more in ESG journalism than any other Irish national media outlet. In addition to daily news and analysis, plus a dedicated ESG newsletter, we produce the leading environmental journalism podcast Five Degrees of Change, hosted by Daniel Murray. The Business Post Sustainable Business Awards have drawn considerable attention since their foundation, and we look forward to a substantial volume of entries from businesses both big and small once again this year. We are also very pleased to note the growing momentum of our Sustainable Business Awards Showcase events, which highlight the best practice found at winning organisations, and provide a network and inspiration to those seeking to become our next award winners.”
