Galway based consultancy company Xenergie was named one of the top winners at the national Business & Finance ESG Awards this month.
Xenergie won the Consultancy award at the 2026 awards, which took place at the Mansion House, Dublin recently.
The award acknowledges Xenergie’s pioneering work in bridging the gap between social recovery and corporate enterprise, reframing recovery as a source of high-potential leadership talent.
The company said in a statement that they were proud to receive this award, which showed the value of what they want to achieve.
“This award means a great deal to us because it reflects something we have long believed: meaningful progress happens when ideas become action.”
“At Xenergie, we help organisations live transformation from the inside out. Through a systemic approach grounded in coaching, leadership and behaviour change, we support leaders and teams to move beyond strategy into everyday practice, creating change where it matters most.”
“Our work is about helping organisations become more sustainable, inclusive, resilient and ready for the future.”
“That means developing leaders who can think systemically, work across boundaries, strengthen stakeholder focus and lead with confidence through complexity.”
The Business & Finance ESG Awards, held in association with Grant Thornton, bring together leading organisations and policymakers to celebrate excellence in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance across Ireland.
Now in its fourth year, the awards continue to recognise the organisations and individuals driving meaningful progress in sustainability, social impact and responsible governance.
This year’s winners reflect the growing maturity of ESG across Irish business, with organisations demonstrating measurable impact, innovation and long-term commitment.
Commenting on the awards, Janice Daly, Partner and Sustainability lead from Grant Thornton said, “Supporting the Business & Finance ESG Awards reflects our belief that embedding sustainability into business strategy plays an important role in advancing responsible business leadership.”
“This year’s winners have demonstrated how a considered and well designed approach to sustainability can deliver meaningful impact over the long term.”
“In a period marked by ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, their leadership shows the value of maintaining a clear, consistent focus on responsible business practices.”
The ESG Awards Judging Panel added, “This year’s entries were of an exceptionally high standard, reflecting a significant evolution in how organisations are approaching ESG.”
“The winners stood out not only for their ambition but for their ability to deliver tangible, measurable outcomes. From large enterprises to SMEs, the breadth of innovation and commitment was impressive, making the judging process both challenging and inspiring.”
