Business Recognition at Chambers Ireland's Sustainable Business Impact Awards 2025: Two of Our Projects in the Running
The Sustainable Business Impact Awards 2025, organised by Chambers Ireland, are set to celebrate purpose-driven business practices that reflect the global aims of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) [1]. The awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday, 24th September 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Northwood Park, Santry Demesne, Dublin [2].
The awards ceremony is held in association with the Department of Rural and Community Development and is sponsored by BAM Ireland [3]. The event aims to highlight best practices in sustainable development and corporate social responsibility among companies of all sizes in Ireland [4].
The awards ceremony will recognise companies that reflect sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. Some examples of the projects that have been shortlisted show a focus on themes including partnerships (SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals), social support, gender equality (SDG 5: Gender Equality), and well-being (SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being) [1][4].
The awards have recognised a firm for providing critical legal support to unaccompanied refugee minors through a partnership in the category of 'Volunteering & Pro Bono Services' [5]. Another firm has been recognised for its partnership with Women's Aid on their website in the category of 'Partnership with Charity (LIC)' [6].
The UN Sustainable Development Goals are central to the Sustainable Business Impact Awards, and the awards ceremony aims to celebrate companies that align with these global goals [1]. The key associated SDGs connected to the context of the Sustainable Business Impact Awards 2025 are:
- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being (e.g., health and volunteering initiatives) [1][4]
- SDG 5: Gender Equality (e.g., women’s aid partnership) [1]
- SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth (e.g., promoting workplace wellbeing and new working models like four-day weeks) [1][4]
- SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals (e.g., collaborations between charities and legal services) [1]
These goals are part of the larger UN SDG framework adopted in 2015 aimed at fostering sustainable economic growth, social inclusion, environmental protection, and global partnerships by 2030 [5]. While the awards emphasize all SDGs generally, the highlighted projects and categories suggest these particular goals are strongly emphasized in the 2025 awards cycle [1][4].

"The Sustainable Business Impact Awards 2025, organized by Chambers Ireland, is not only celebrating purpose-driven business practices, but also companies that adopt a sustainable lifestyle in their home-and-garden sectors, as seen in partnerships and collaborations that reflect the UN Sustainable Development Goals such as SDG 3, Good Health and Well-being, SDG 5, Gender Equality, and SDG 17, Partnerships for the Goals [1][4].
In alignment with the UN SDGs, the awarded companies demonstrate sustainable living not only in their business operations but also in their communities, with projects focused on social support, gender equality, partnerships, and even promoting well-being, making a significant impact in Ireland [4]."
