British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BAT Bangladesh) has won the Asia Corporate Excellence and Sustainability (ACES) Awards 2022 as a "top sustainability advocate."
The company has been honoured for its contributions to environment, social and governance (ESG) practices, reports UNB.
Since its investiture in 2014, the ACES Awards, initiated by the MORS Group, has grown to become "one of the most sought-after accolades in Asia."
In honouring the ingenious innovation, capabilities and resilience of the industry trailblazers, ACES has specially handpicked the creme de la creme corporations as the award recipients for its ninth edition.
