Enterprise Ireland has joined the Green Awards 2027 as Gold Sponsor, bringing its experience in developing Irish enterprise to Ireland's longest-running sustainability recognition programme ahead of the awards gala on 23 February at the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road.

As the Irish government organisation responsible for the development and growth of Irish enterprises in world markets, Enterprise Ireland works in partnership with companies to help them start, scale, innovate, and win export sales globally. In doing so, it supports sustainable economic growth, regional development, and secure employment. 

In a green business landscape where sustainability excellence and environmental innovation are increasingly tied to how Irish companies compete in international markets, Enterprise Ireland's role in helping businesses grow responsibly speaks directly to the challenges facing sustainable businesses across the country. Its sponsorship reflects a natural alignment with the values the Green Awards has championed since 2008.

Enterprise Ireland joins Panda, Energia Group, and Galetech Group among others as Gold Sponsors. Meanwhile, Amárach Research serves as Supporter and The Irish Times as Communications Partner.

The Green Awards 2027 recognises outstanding achievement across 32 categories spanning the full breadth of Ireland's sustainability landscape, from Green Business of the Year, Green Leader, and ESG Best Performer of the Year to sector-specific awards covering energy, construction, food and beverage, life sciences, logistics and transport, retail, healthcare, and technology. 

Entries are assessed by an independent judging panel coordinated by Padraig Ryan of Navitise Consulting and Daragh Anglim of Broadlake, and drawn from senior figures spanning green political economy, circular economy innovation, ESG strategy, and sustainability advocacy.

The entry deadline is 11 November 2026, with the awards gala taking place on 23 February 2027 at the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road.
