CSR Awards

Recognising the businesses creating meaningful social and environmental impact. Acquisition International is proud to present the CSR Awards 2026, marking the fifth year of this prestigious programme. These awards celebrate organisations and professionals that place responsible business practices, sustainability, and positive social impact at the heart of their work. The CSR Awards recognise companies, leaders, and initiatives that demonstrate how corporate responsibility can drive meaningful change while supporting long-term business success. Through Acquisition International’s global business platform, the awards provide recognition for those setting new standards in ethical leadership, sustainable growth, and responsible innovation. As expectations around environmental responsibility, social contribution, and transparent governance continue to evolve, businesses are increasingly recognising the importance of operating with purpose. The CSR Awards shine a spotlight on those organisations and professionals leading the way through commitment, innovation, and measurable impact.
