Recognising the companies and projects driving sustainable transformation across the industry.

Celebrating the initiatives leading sustainability, social impact and responsible governance across the industry.

In its second edition, the ESG Awards continue to recognise leadership, innovation and meaningful ESG impact across Empack Madrid, Logistics & Automation Madrid and LIB Madrid.

Following the success of the first edition, the ESG Awards continue to grow with the introduction of a second category aimed at recognising ESG excellence beyond the exhibition floor.

This recognition celebrates the companies making a difference through initiatives that create real impact.

In 2025, we launched a new initiative reflecting our commitment to a more sustainable future: the Best ESG Exhibitor Initiative Award. The award was presented by Paula Ruiz, founder of Trece Matices, a branding studio with more than eight years of experience creating brands with purpose, identity and meaningful impact: “Transforming brands through value, identity and every nuance.”

This recognition celebrates exhibiting companies leading the way through initiatives that create real impact across the industry.

What is ESG?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social & Governance. These three pillars represent the criteria that define how a company manages its impact on the environment—not only from an environmental perspective but also in terms of social responsibility and ethical corporate governance practices.

It refers to how the company cares for the planet:

  • Reduces its carbon footprint
  • Manages waste efficiently
  • Promotes the use of clean energy
  • Protects natural resources

It relates to how the company engages with people:

  • Cares for the physical and mental health of its teams
  • Promotes diversity, equality, and work-life balance
  • Gets involved with local communities
  • Protects the privacy and rights of customers and employees

It refers to how the company organizes itself and makes decisions with ethics and transparency:

  • Good practices in leadership and management
  • Clear policies on accountability and compliance
