LONDON, UK, November 8, 2023 - RS Group plc (LSE: RS1), a global provider of product and service solutions for industrial customers, has won the award for Best Company for Sustainability Reporting in the industrial sector at the 2023 Corporate ESG Awards.

Initiated by ESG Investing, the Corporate ESG Awards recognize the best listed companies globally across all areas of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and sustainability performance and reporting. Nominations are eligible from listed companies of all sizes across all industry sectors. The different categories are assessed by a panel of independent judges comprised of sustainability professionals in the financial markets, academics, and independent experts.
