NEW YORK, October 25, 2022 /CSRwire/ - Today 3BL Media announced the recipients of the 2022 Responsible CEO of the Year Awards during its annual event, 3BL Forum: Brands Taking Stands® – Now What? at Pier Sixty in New York.

During the luncheon ceremony, 3BL Media CEO Dave Armon presented awards to three corporate executives who embody leadership in delivering on their environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments. This year’s awardees demonstrate the strategic advantage of internalizing ESG into the core of their businesses and how these efforts can have a real-world impact in the lives of their employees, communities and for society at large.

Whether leveraging the power of the global supply chain to drive sustainability and diversity initiatives, committing to equity in cutting edge healthcare solutions and democratizing its benefits, transforming a legacy company by expanding sustainable offerings or providing free educational opportunities to the children of employees - this year’s Responsible CEOs have more than earned the distinction.
