Deadline: June 15, 2025

Nominations are now open for the seventh edition of the Meaningful Business 100 award programme, which champions leaders combining profit and purpose. Comprising corporate CEOs, sustainability leaders, impact investors, entrepreneurs and micro-entrepreneurs, the MB100 cuts across geography, industry, role and company size to recognise outstanding work being done to solve the most pressing social and environmental issues we are facing today.

The year-long award programme consists of pro-bono services from their partners, EY, Hogan Lovells, Babson College and Innovision, and provides access to investment opportunities, potential customers, capacity building resources and a global community of peers.

They are looking for the most impactful business leaders for the 7th edition of the Meaningful Business 100 award. From social entrepreneurs and impact investors to corporate sustainability leaders, MB100 winners work across sectors, geographies, role types and SDGs, but share a commitment to using business to benefit people’s lives and the planet.

Benefits

Selected by an expert panel of judges, winners go on to take part in a year-round programme supported by industry-leading organisations, offering:

  • Pro-bono services and capacity-building resources.
  • Investment opportunities and profile-raising activities.
  • Access to an interdisciplinary, curated network of peers.

Eligibility

Each leader must have:

  • Created positive, direct and intended impact aligned to one or more SDGs in the last 12 months
  • Been the driving force behind the product, service or project that combines purpose and profit.

Judging Criteria

  • Originality of the idea behind the product, service or project
  • Longevity of the product, service or project
  • Intersectionality – how successful is the product in creating impact across multiple SDGs?
  • Localisation – is the product or service helping local communities take better control of their lives?
  • Scalability of the product, service or project – is it replicable?
  • Inclusion – is there a focus on representation of minority groups?
  • Collaboration – has the leader made best use of the core competencies of different stakeholders, and encouraged them to work together?
  • Affordability – what level of investment did the product or service require? (Low investment, high impact products or services will be favoured)
  • Use of innovation/technology to power the product, service or project
  • Is the leader a role model for, and champion of, meaningful business beyond their own company?

Application

The deadline for entries is Sunday, 15th June, 2025.
