About the Awards

The Diversity in Business Awards: Celebrate Inclusion, Drive Change

The Diversity in Business Awards, brought to you by BusinessRiver, are Ireland's newest and most exciting awards, celebrating organisations that place inclusivity and diversity at the foundation of their operations.

Today, merely talking about diversity is no longer sufficient. These awards recognise those actively building workplaces where everyone belongs and thrives, with a focus on gender equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion, disability representation, and cultural diversity.

We're honouring the leaders and companies breaking down barriers, leading the way towards a fairer and more equal future for all.

Why Take Part in the Diversity in Business Awards?

• Showcase Leadership: Demonstrate your commitment to creating equitable, inclusive work environments, and position your organisation as a leader in diversity.

• Boost Your Brand Reputation: Share your success stories to inspire others, with achievements highlighted in our exclusive digital package created in collaboration with our communication partner, the Irish Times.
