Businesses that have demonstrated real community impact over the last 12 months are being urged to showcase this by entering the Scotland Business of the Year Awards.
Our judges want to see tangible demonstrations of ‘giving something back’, through corporate social responsibility initiatives or charitable activities.
They are particularly looking to recognise efforts that are additional to the organisation’s main operations – although charities and social enterprises can nominate a corporate partner who they feel has provided outstanding support.
The awards are taking place for the first time in Scotland in 2026, organised by TheBusinessDesk.com and supported by PwC, Daily Business and TheBusinessGrid.
Peter Walker, editor of TheBusinessDesk Scotland, said: “We want to hear the good news stories, where companies have really committed to using their people, places and profits to benefit the communities in which they are based.
“This is a chance to show that rather than just being an afterthought donation, your team really cares about its locals and has been innovative in its approach.”
Entries are open for 13 categories spanning businesses of all sizes and sectors, including fast-growth businesses, international trade, investment, and employers. There will also be two individual awards, for chief executive of the year and ambassador.
