RS Group has won the award for ‘Best Company for Sustainability Reporting’ in the industrial sector at the Corporate ESG Awards 2023.
Initiated by ESG Investing, the Corporate ESG Awards recognise the best listed companies globally across all areas of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and sustainability performance and reporting. Nominations are eligible from listed companies of all sizes across all industry sectors. The different categories are assessed by a panel of independent judges comprising sustainability professionals in the financial markets, academics, and independent experts.
In addition to winning the award for sustainability reporting, RS was nominated in the ‘Best Company for ESG and Sustainability’ category.
Commenting on the award, Andrea Barrett, VP for social responsibility and sustainability at RS Group, said: ‘‘We were delighted to be nominated in two categories at the Corporate ESG Awards, alongside other leading listed organisations, and even more so to win Best Company for Sustainability Reporting. I believe the award is testament to the strong progress we have made since launching our 2030 ESG action plan in November 2021.
“For RS, our 2030 ESG action plan is fundamental to our purpose, strategy and decision making, and is key to driving greater long-term value for all our stakeholders including our people, customers and suppliers. Over the last year, we have focused our attention on how we can harness our knowledge, expertise, products and service solutions to help our customers and suppliers on their ESG journeys and I am delighted that our communication of this progress is being recognised within the investor community.’’
