Chronos Named Best Sustainability Consultancy in 2026 ESG Investing Awards
The ESG Investing Awards aim to recognise and celebrate the best companies involved in all areas of ESG investing across the globe including investment funds, research and vendor products.
In March 2026 we were delighted that Chronos was named ‘Best Sustainability Consultancy’ at the ESG Investing Awards 2026. The award was a recognition of the breadth of impact and the scale of ambition that underpins our projects, programmes and initiatives across responsible investment, climate change, biodiversity and nature, responsible chemicals, human rights, food and health.
We were particularly delighted to receive the feedback from the judging panel who said: “We were really impressed by the breadth and depth of what Chronos offer and the way they discuss sustainability issues points to a deep understanding of the areas that come under that broad umbrella. They have an excellent website, and we really like their quarterly newsletters, but especially like their relevant and very accessible podcasts. They work on some important reports, consultations and industry groups. It’s reassuring that agencies like this exist who get deep into the heart of matters and ensure clients pay more than lip service to ESG matters.”
In a year defined by geopolitical volatility, Chronos has continued to focus on high impact projects. Our activity has included:
Driving the $18 trillion Global Investor Commission on Mining 2030, to align markets behind a vision for a more responsible mining sector.
Assessing 220 listed companies on their mental health performance and inspiring improvements that have seen 1.5 million employees benefit from a better approach to mental health support.
Supporting both multinational brands (Costa, Bentley) and civil society groups (Canopy, Earthworks) to tackle complex sourcing challenges from protecting endangered forests to modern slavery.
Driving the food industry’s biggest animal welfare initiatives. The Global Coalition for Animal Welfare and the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare which assesses the animal welfare performance at 150 global food giants. Benchmarked companies with animal welfare objectives have tripled in over a decade.
Engaged regulators, policymakers and standard setters through workshops on sustainable data use in Brussels and on global mining codes.
Supported the next generation of sustainable finance professionals through an annual student prize at the LSE, providing freely-available careers guides to young professionals and supporting a team of young ecologists at a rewilding project in Sussex.
Sharing knowledge through webinars and roundtables, briefings, LinkedIn and our podcast: Chronos Talks
We are grateful that our commitment to design frameworks, build markets and drive initiatives that turn sustainability ambition into action - from global systems down to local implementation – has been recognised in this way.
