About the Awards

The Responsible Business Awards in Northern Ireland are the most prestigious and respected awards championing responsible business.

Offering the opportunity for Northern Ireland organisations to be recognised for their outstanding contributions to their people, the planet and the places where they operate, these Awards celebrate businesses that are a force for good, making Northern Ireland a better place to work and live.

Could your organisation be recognised as a leader in responsible business across one of our 2026 Awards categories?

About this event

At this event, we’ll give you more information on these changes and you’ll learn more about how you can make a great written submission that effectively showcases why you believe your organisation should be in with a chance to win in 2026.

Written entries determine whether or not your organisation is shortlisted – so it’s an important stage. Should your organisation be shortlisted, your written submission will make up 50% of your final total score.

During this webinar we will:

• Provide an overview of the Responsible Business Awards and 2026 categories
• Give you an overview of changes to scoring and making your entry in 2026
• Explain the process of shortlisting and judging
• Demonstrate how to use Judgify, the online entry platform
• Provide top tips for completing your written submission
• List key Awards dates and deadlines for next steps
