Foreword

The Responsible Business Awards in Northern Ireland are the most prestigious and respected awards
championing responsible business. Offering the opportunity for Northern Ireland organisations to be
recognised for their outstanding contributions to their people, the planet and the places where they
operate, these Awards celebrate businesses that are making Northern Ireland a better place.
Previous winners have shown remarkable innovation, creativity and a sustained commitment to
corporate responsibility; demonstrating the positive impact they’ve had on society and in their business.
They celebrate the power of partnership, shine a light on best practice, and demonstrate just how much
business can be a force for good in society; tackling some of our biggest and most challenging societal
issues.
These awards simply would not be possible without our sponsors and I am incredibly grateful for the
leadership and support shown by all of those companies who get involved in the awards.
I hope you will grasp the opportunity to work with us in 2022, and in subsequent years, on this vital
business showcase.
