The awards highlight their commitment to supporting sustainable initiatives and their customers' transformation journeys.

President of Digital Leaders and IFS board member Jacqueline de Rojas added: "It is a privilege to see innovation supporting the green agenda in such practical ways. The Change for Good Award winners have looked beyond the immediate and understood the needs of our technology-dependent future. It is incredibly inspiring to see how technology is moving at pace to play a much-needed part in building a sustainable future."
