The SIERA Impact Awards recognize bold leadership and measurable global impact in sustainability, ESG excellence, and innovation. Rooted in the legacy of the EUTECH SDG Awards, we celebrate changemakers whose work redefines what’s possible — across regions, sectors, and communities.
Launched in 2020 as the EUTECH SDG Awards, our mission was clear: recognize those driving meaningful progress toward the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Over three successful editions, we celebrated hundreds of changemakers — innovators, activists, entrepreneurs — who dared to think bigger and act bolder.
The SIERA Impact Awards build upon this proud legacy, expanding our platform to embrace the emerging priorities shaping our future:
Driven by the vision of a world built on equity, impact, and innovation, the SIERA Impact Awards are not just an event — it is a movement for inspiring the world for a better tomorrow.
What started in 2020 as a focused initiative to spotlight SDG-driven changemakers has grown into a powerful global movement. Through each edition, we’ve expanded our reach, elevated new voices, and deepened our commitment to recognizing those shaping a better tomorrow. The launch of the SIERA Impact Awards marks not just a name change — but a bold new era of global recognition across sustainability, ESG excellence, and inclusive innovation.
Launched to recognize global contributions to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the EUTECH SDG Awards began as a platform for change.

Now reimagined as the SIERA Impact Awards, the platform expands with bold new categories. We’re not just honoring achievements — we’re building a global stage for purpose-led leadership, technology, and inclusive innovation.
The SIERA Impact Awards are part of the flagship SIERA Impact Events, an initiative of the SIERA Alliance — a global ecosystem uniting innovation, sustainability, and measurable impact.
Driven by the vision of accelerating sustainable transformation, the SIERA Alliance connects changemakers across every stage of their journey. Through storytelling, capacity building, funding opportunities, and policy engagement, the Alliance empowers leaders and organizations to scale solutions that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and set new standards in sustainability leadership.
