The Responsible Business Awards are back for the sixth year, with the entry deadline on 19^th June 2015 and the awards ceremony taking place on 25^th September 2015 at The Cumberland Hotel in London.

The Awards are a truly international affair, with last year’s winners including the likes of; Santander Brazil, Turkcell, Mars Incorporated, Itaú Unibanco, Mobilink, Interface and Zoological Society of London, The Maersk Group, PureCircle, B&Q, Glanbia Ingredients Ireland and Diageo.

Head of Brand and Corporate Sustainability at Alcatel-Lucent Christine Diamente who was one of the last year’s Awards judges said “we reviewed a solid list of nominations which individually and collectively have shown that responsible business is no longer an exception, but a clear indicator of success in the corporate world”.  

To reflect on the industry trends, this year’s categories have been revamped, so four new categories have been added including; Best Integrated Report, Best Corporate Storytelling, Best Public Company and Best Social Enterprise.
