A LIMERICK company has taken home a top award in the Business and Finance ESG Awards.
The awards, in association with Grant Thornton, which aim to honour the top companies for their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies, were announced in Dublin this past week.
Representing Limerick, Kate Kerrane of H&MV Engineering took home the award in the Future ESG Leader category.
Grant Thornton Ireland Partner and Head of Consulting Amanda Ward said that “the European Environment Agency most recent climate risk assessment highlights the major challenges we face as a society as a result of climate change. Today’s winners embody the leadership and innovation required in order to deliver a better, greener tomorrow alongside a just transition”.
The awards recognises standout winners across 20 categories, each reflecting the diverse and evolving landscape of ESG initiatives in Ireland.
This year’s awards saw a large increase in the number of entrants, with a record number of entries this year, highlighting the importance Irish companies are placing on ESG policies.
