Chambers Ireland Launches 2018 Corporate Social Responsibility Awards

Chambers Ireland has launched the Corporate Social Responsibility Awards 2018 at AIB’s Bankcentre. The CSR Awards offer the business community a chance to promote and highlight the best practice CSR activities taking place in companies of all sizes across Ireland. The Awards showcase projects that help to improve the workplace for the benefit of all employees, that engage with and help to improve the communities in which business operate and that are environmentally responsible.

Speaking at the launch and commented on this year’s theme, ‘Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace’, Ian Talbot, Chief Executive of Chambers Ireland, said: “Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is not only the focus of our launch today but will also feature more prominently as a new award category for the awards themselves taking place later this year. We would like to invite applicants to showcase their efforts in striving towards achieving true organisational change to allow these ideals to flourish in the workplace.

The launch is also a celebration of the anniversary of the Chambers Ireland CSR Awards for 2018, which marks the 15th year of the awards. KPMG were winners of the 2017 Outstanding Achievement in CSR Award for the commitment to CSR practices that are embedded at the company’s core and for the organisation’s ongoing dedication to community engagement.

The awards are sponsored by BAM Ireland and run in association with the Department of Rural and Community Development and in partnership with Business in the Community Ireland. The closing date for nominations is Tuesday, 17th April 2018.
