The global dialogue surrounding sustainability is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Transparency, accountability, and action are no longer aspirations but necessities in today’s sustainability landscape. PwC Mauritius is committed to sustainability, emphasising diversity and inclusion, equal pay, and achieving net-zero emissions. The PwC Sustainability Awards is our own way to honour the companies whose commitment to sustainability has inspired us all. Their dedication to a long-term vision reminds us that business success and the well-being of our communities and ecosystems are deeply interconnected.



Jessica Fries

Chair of the GRI Supervisory Board

As regulations shift toward broader requirements—encompassing environmental, social, and economic aspects—staying informed is crucial. Even well-established companies with decades of reporting experience have faced resource challenges when responding to new EU requirements. The market demands early action. While investor information needs to drive current developments, companies recognise the broader impact beyond investors. Starting early and embracing sustainability reporting is essential. Sustainability reporting isn’t just about ticking boxes; it’s about driving meaningful decisions and outcomes. In a world grappling with climate change’s impact on lives and livelihoods, reporting becomes fundamental.

Risk Assurance Services Partner and Sustainability Leader

Recent advancements in sustainability include comprehensive biodiversity assessments via the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, increased focus on supply chain transparency, and the growing influence of double materiality which considers both financial and environmental/social factors. AI is improving sustainability data accuracy, while detailed reporting on circular economy initiatives is becoming more common
