Plan-IT-ESG is proudly sponsoring the Wigan Business Awards 2025 and backing the Sustainability Champion category once again—because we live and breathe sustainability.

This category celebrates the businesses across Wigan and Leigh that are leading the way in environmental responsibility, those making a real, measurable impact and setting an example for others to follow.

We’re proud to support that mission.

A Category That Aligns With Our Values

As ESG specialists, we work with organisations every day to help them build strategies that are not only good for business but also good for people and the planet.

The Sustainability Champion category reflects exactly the kind of progress we believe in—and that makes supporting it feel like a natural fit.

“The Sustainability Champion category really resonates with our mission at Plan-IT-ESG.

It’s inspiring to see local businesses not just talking about sustainability but embedding it into the way they work. Being a sponsor again this year felt like the obvious choice.”
 — Phil Paramore, Director at Plan-IT-ESG

The Value of Getting Involved

Last year was our first time sponsoring a category at the Wigan Business Awards and the experience far exceeded our expectations.

It opened doors to new conversations, strengthened our local presence, and introduced us to some truly brilliant people and businesses making a difference. It wasn’t just about visibility—it was about connection and shared purpose.

“Getting involved last year gave us valuable exposure and connected us with like-minded leaders across the borough.

It deepened our roots in the local business community and reinforced our identity as a purpose-led organisation. It was one of the most rewarding things we’ve done.”
 — Phil Paramore

What to Expect This Year

The 2025 awards take place on Friday 7th November at The Edge Arena, and the buzz is already building. Entries are open now, and we can’t wait to see which businesses step up to share their sustainability stories.

Values-led businesses can still secure one of the 8 remaining category sponsorships.

Nominations close on Friday 30th May, and the deadline for entries is Friday 30th June.

Let’s Celebrate Progress Together

For us, sponsoring the Sustainability Champion award is more than just giving back. It’s about shining a light on the kind of business we want to see more of.

Are you on a sustainability journey, or do you know a business that deserves recognition? Get involved now.
