Where Purpose Meets Progress

The Scottish Impact Awards celebrate the organisations building a better, fairer, and more sustainable Scotland. Delivered by The Herald and Newsquest Events Scotland & NI, these awards recognise the trailblazers who embed purpose into action, creating lasting impact across society, the environment, and the workplace.

From empowering communities through regeneration, inclusion, and cultural initiatives, to fostering healthier, more ethical workplaces, each award honours leadership that truly makes a difference. We shine a light on organisations showing progress in Diversity and Inclusion practices, those tackling the climate crisis head-on as Climate Action Champions, and celebrate Innovators driving the circular economy through sustainable design and procurement.

Now established as Scotland’s flagship celebration of purpose-driven excellence, the Scottish Impact Awards stand proudly, highlighting the organisations shaping a future where impact is embedded at the heart of strategy, culture, and community.

Join us in recognising those leading Scotland into a future where purpose meets progress.
