Earlier this year, Dublin Port was honoured with the ESG Finance Champion Award at the Irish Accountancy Awards 2025, recognising its pioneering eco-engineering initiatives and sustainability-linked financing that are redefining the future of responsible port operations.

Judges commended the Dublin Port for its strategic alignment and innovation with national and global sustainability goals, highlighting the depth of its stakeholder engagement and the transformative impact of its Green Shipping Corridor. 

Their submission demonstrated how finance teams can lead on ESG excellence in Ireland, driving long-term value, operational innovation, and measurable environmental progress.

“We were particularly impressed by the company’s focus on innovation, collaborative teamwork, and the level of detail illustrating their work. A strong performance across multiple areas reflected their commitment to excellence and delivering bespoke, client-specific solutions,” the judging panel added. 

As momentum builds within Ireland’s finance and accountancy community, Dublin Port’s achievement sets a benchmark for innovation, accountability, and sustainable progress, inspiring firms across the sector to strive for excellence.

With this in mind, organisations now have the opportunity to showcase their impact, benchmark their performance, and gain recognition from expert judging panelists, with entries for next year's Irish Accountancy Awards open until 30 January 2026.

The sector looks toward another year of excellence, this rising momentum raises the question: who will step forward and be recognised in next year’s awards?
