Dubai, UAE – The Arabia CSR Network, the Arab region’s most established authority on corporate sustainability and responsible business, officially announced the launch of the 19th Cycle of the Arabia CSR & Sustainability Awards, a programme widely regarded by government, industry and civil society as the “Green Oscar of the Middle East.”
Now entering its nineteenth year, the Awards have become the most respected and rigorous recognition platform for sustainability and CSR excellence across the Arab world, setting benchmarks that influence corporate governance, ESG integration and long-term value creation at both national and regional levels.
The launch event, held at Stella Di Mare, Dubai Marina, brought together senior leaders from government, business, academia and civil society, underscoring the Awards’ role as a convening force for sustainability leadership rather than a ceremonial accolade.
Often referred to as the “Green Oscar of the Middle East” due to its credibility, depth of evaluation and enduring influence, the Arabia CSR & Sustainability Awards stand apart for recognising measurable impact, institutional maturity and governance-driven sustainability, rather than one-off initiatives or marketing-led claims. Participation in the Awards is widely seen as a mark of leadership and accountability, with organisations undergoing a robust, independent and technically grounded evaluation process conducted by regional and international experts.

The 19th cycle reaffirms our commitment to recognising organisations that lead with responsibility, transparency and long-term vision.”
