These prestigious Irish Awards celebrate motivated companies which work towards and achieve high standards of corporate social responsibility. The awards recognise and honour the companies and people focused on doing their best.

Corporate Social Responsibility aims to ensure that companies or organisations conduct their business in a way that is ethical. This can mean taking account of their social, economic and environmental impact, and consideration of human rights.

It involves a range of activities including:

  1. Working in partnership with local communities
  2. Socially responsible investment (SRI)
  3. Developing relationships with employees and customers
  4. Environmental protection and sustainability

Across the fourteen categories named in CSR Awards many leading Irish and international organisations have shown that they are at the forefront of CSR through a range of projects and activities both internally and externally to their workplace. Many focus on actions related to four points noted above.

Ireland aims to be recognised as a centre of excellence in CSR

The Government’s vision as set out in the National Plan on CSR Towards Responsible Business” 2017 – 2020, is that ‘Ireland be recognised as a centre of excellence for responsible and sustainable business practice and this is a goal for those who have entered the awards including Recycle IT.
