HARARE, October 28, 2026 — Momentum is building as we officially announce that preparations are fully underway for the milestone 10th Annual Responsible Business and ESG Awards. Under this year’s banner, “A Decade of Impact, A Future of Purpose,” the benchmark event celebrates ten years of honouring organizations, innovators, and non-profits that seamlessly weave environmental, social, and governance (ESG) excellence into their core corporate strategy.
As the countdown begins, organizers have confirmed that a prestigious cohort of early-adopter corporate sponsors has already come on board, signalling strong industry commitment to a sustainable future. Logistical planning, venue arrangements, and the onboarding of an independent, expert panel of judges are moving forward at a rapid pace to deliver the most impactful awards ceremony to date.
Sponsors that have come on board so far include TN Cyber Bank, Tongaat Hulett, Eureka Gold Mine, and SeedCo, among others, with many corporations lining up to take different partnership packages.
“Reaching our tenth year is a powerful testament to how deeply embedded ESG has become in the corporate conscience,” said Willard Razawo, ESG Network Zimbabwe Executive Director.
“We are thrilled to welcome our new partners who share our vision of sustainable profitability. This milestone event is not just about looking back at a decade of change; it is about setting the gold standard for accountable business ecosystems over the next ten years.” He added.
With the momentum firmly established, the call for nominations is officially coming to a close on the 30th of October, and organizers are issuing a dual invitation for additional corporate partners to come on board and for forward-thinking companies to register their participation.
