Another local firm, SK tes, which is based in the Shannon Free Zone is nominated in the category of small to medium sized company.
Nearby, a further Shannon company has also been recognised.
calQrisk, whose staff have developed software that helps companies keep track of risks and make sure they’re following rules, is nominated in the innovation section.
Janice Daly, partner and sustainability lead at Grant Thornton, said: “In an increasingly complex business landscape, this year’s finalists have shown how integrating ESG matters into business strategy can deliver long‑term value and real impact. Many have continued to progress their sustainability commitments despite the broader uncertainties facing businesses today. Their approach shows that strong governance, climate-related and environmental responsibility, along with social impact, are essential to building resilient and responsible organisations.”
Chief operating officer of Business and Finance, Clare Kilmartin added: “The calibre of entries for the awards has been exceptionally strong, reflecting the growing maturity and ambition of ESG strategies across Irish business. We are seeing organisations move beyond commitments to deliver tangible, measurable impact.”
Some 115 companies are nominated across 16 separate categories.
