Global business events firm Trescon, in partnership with ESG Mena, has launched the CARE ESG Awards 2025, a landmark initiative recognizing the Middle East and North Africa’s leading sustainability pioneers.
The awards will be held at the inaugural Climate Action, Renewable Energy & Sustainability Forum, also known as CARE MENA, alongside the Digitization, AI & Emerging Tech Summit, bringing together more than 4,000 leaders across government, industry and technology.
Recognizing Excellence in Sustainability
The CARE ESG Awards will spotlight innovators and organizations driving measurable progress in clean energy, finance, mobility, agritech, healthcare, governance and technology.
Sixteen categories will honor achievements by startups, corporations, youth advocates and senior leaders advancing the region’s low-carbon transition.
“These awards celebrate transformative climate ambition across MENA,” said Trescon Group CEO Naveen Bharadwaj, in a statement. “Through the CARE ESG Awards, we aim to inspire collaboration and accelerate the region’s role in defining a more sustainable world.”
Transparent and Merit-Based Selection
In collaboration with ESG Mena, the region’s first independent ESG knowledge hub, Trescon will ensure the awards’ credibility and transparency.
ESG Mena’s regional expertise — spanning the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Morocco — will guide the process to ensure recognition is strictly merit-based.
A jury of experts from leading organizations will evaluate nominees, ensuring winners reflect the highest standards of environmental, social and governance excellence.
“Since founding ESG Mena, our mission has been to spotlight initiatives that deliver measurable results,” said Saleh Jafar, founder and CEO of ESG Mena. “Partnering with Trescon ensures recognition is grounded in evidence and genuine impact.”
Spotlight on Regional Sustainability Champions
Award winners will gain both regional and international recognition as benchmarks of sustainability excellence. They will also gain opportunities to collaborate with policymakers, investors and industry stakeholders shaping MENA’s green future.
The ceremony will feature a Sustainability Fashion Show, highlighting designs made from recycled materials, ethical fabrics and circular design principles, highlighting the event’s commitment to creative climate action.
Driving Tangible Climate Impact
The CARE ESG Awards aim to go beyond recognition by creating a platform that catalyzes partnerships and scalable impact. CARE MENA serves as a high-impact marketplace for ideas, capital and collaboration — aligning public and private sector efforts to accelerate sustainable infrastructure, clean energy technologies and climate finance.
By combining Trescon’s event expertise with ESG Mena’s research-driven insights, the platform seeks to drive accountability and amplify leadership in sustainability across the region.
