About ACES Awards

Asia’s Premier Award for Leadership and Sustainability
Asia’s Leading Platform for Leadership and Sustainability Recognition.
The Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability Awards (ACES) is a regional platform that recognises organisations and leaders shaping the future of responsible business across Asia.

Established in 2014, ACES has evolved beyond a conventional awards programme into a structured system of recognition grounded in rigorous evaluation, research-led methodologies, and clearly defined standards of leadership and sustainability. Today, it brings together a distinguished community of organisations that have chosen to measure themselves against the region’s evolving expectations of responsible growth.

At its core, ACES recognises leadership that extends beyond performance, leadership defined by accountability, long-term thinking, and measurable impact. Each recognised organisation reflects a commitment to ethical governance, sustainable practices, and the ability to create value not only for business, but for the broader ecosystem in which it operates.

Through independent assessment frameworks and disciplined evaluation processes, ACES provides credible, third-party recognition that strengthens organisational reputation, reinforces stakeholder confidence, and supports continued growth. More importantly, it establishes a shared benchmark for leadership across industries, enabling organisations to learn, evolve, and progress over time.

As the ACES ecosystem continues to grow, encompassing Laureate distinctions, research initiatives, and leadership platforms, the Awards remain its foundation: a point of entry into a broader journey of sustained excellence, influence, and impact.

ACES is not simply recognition.
It is a commitment to leadership, responsibility, and enduring progress.
