The SERAS Africa Sustainability Awards has called for entry and participation in the 2023 edition and 17th cycle of the annual event.

SERAS is an award ceremony held to recognise corporate social responsibility and sustainability. The gold-standard award and the most important industry ceremony in Africa has over the years drawn participation from 31 countries on the continent.

The theme of the 2023 edition of the event is ‘Circular Economy as the New Market Disruptor: SDGs Innovation as Key to Vision 2030’, an extension of last year’s theme.

At the media conference unveiling the 2023 theme, the founder of the awards, Ken Egbas, also revealed the 25 awards categories ratified by the judges’ committee that would be competed for by organisations across Africa.

Egbas said, “Last year, we began the introductory journey into circularity, and we are continuing with it this year. Year after year, we focus on adding depth to the sustainability journeys of organisations from around the continent.

“We are indeed delighted at the extent of progress so far recorded. Last year, we broke new grounds with circularity. Now we wanted to help brands and organisations consolidate.
