A Message from Our CEO

For years, Saudi Arabia’s businesses, institutions, and professionals have pursued excellence, often without a stage built to properly recognise it. Business Awards Group exists to change that.

We are an independent awards institution founded on a simple conviction: that credible, rigorously judged recognition drives better performance, sharper strategy, and stronger reputations, for the individuals and organisations we celebrate, and for the Kingdom’s wider ambitions under Vision 2030.

Our flagship initiative, the Saudi ESG Awards, developed in partnership with Awards International, reflects how we work: multi-sector in scope, anchored in independent judging, and built in close alignment with the government and private-sector bodies shaping Saudi Arabia’s future. It is the first of several award programs we intend to bring to the Kingdom, each held to the same standard of integrity.

Recognition, done properly, is not flattery. It is a benchmark, one that pushes organisations to measure themselves honestly, and gives the market a trustworthy signal of who is leading. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and the one we invite you to hold us to as well.

We look forward to recognising your achievements.

Mohammed Almas Chief Executive Officer Business Awards Group
