“Congratulations to our awardees—we know they will continue to be forces for good by championing a strong environmental, social and governance agenda,” said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL Media and publisher of CR Magazine. “We applaud the personal commitment by this year’s CEOs for embedding ESG at the very center of their businesses and for the impact they are having as exceptional leaders.”
Awards and recognition programs abound, but being recognized as a Responsible CEO is especially meaningful as the judging panel consists of past recipients of Corporate Responsibility Magazine’s Responsible CEO of the Year Award.
