It is with great pride that we introduce the launch of Inquirer ESG Edge Impact Awards 2025.
As a proud member of the Asia ESG Positive Impact Consortium, the Inquirer stands alongside leading media organizations across Southeast Asia to advocate for socio-economic progress and environmental stewardship. The Consortium is committed to building a future where sustainability is a cornerstone of thriving communities, guided by a three-fold approach of education, engagement, and community-building. This vision is championed by the Consortium’s brands—Star ESG, KG Media Lestari, and Inquirer ESG Edge.

 Since the Consortium’s launch last year, we have actively rolled out programs aligned with our collective mission, engaging our local communities to inspire meaningful change.

At the forefront of this advocacy is ESG Edge, the Inquirer Group’s multi-platform initiative designed to promote awareness and action around Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Through compelling storytelling, dynamic forums, and strategic partnerships, we have sought to advance the Philippines’ sustainability agenda. Over the past year, our initiatives have included publishing in-depth features on ESG topics, hosting insightful talks, and highlighting programs that align with our community’s values.

This year, we take our commitment a step further. The Inquirer ESG Edge Impact Awards seeks to celebrate and recognize exemplary organizations—ranging from small enterprises to large-scale operations—that have embraced the challenge of advancing ESG practices. These awards aim to honor not just achievements but the inspiring initiatives that create awareness and action across the ESG spectrum.

We invite you to join us in this celebration. Let your work inspire others by participating in the awards and showcasing the programs that best represent your organization’s commitment to sustainability. We believe that sustainability is not just an aspiration but the very definition of our shared future—and it begins with each of us.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to our advocacy partners, stakeholders, contributors, and co-advocates who have supported this mission.We look forward to receiving your inspiring submissions and working together to create a brighter, more sustainable future.
