Selected from over 108 applicants, Isatis reached the top 4 finalists in the People category at the SDG Business Pioneers Award in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This year, we had the incredible honour of being recognised among the top 4 finalists in the People category at the SDG Business Pioneers Award in Bosnia and Herzegovina, selected from over 108 applicants across the country.

Although we did not take the final prize, being seen as a potential winner by the independent evaluation commission and making it to the final stage is a recognition we deeply value.

Top 4 out of 108

The SDG Business Pioneers Award recognises companies that make the UN Sustainable Development Goals part of how they actually do business, not just how they talk about it. Reaching the final four in the People category, out of more than a hundred applicants, tells us that the way we treat our people resonates beyond our own walls.

Our sincere thanks go to the organisers and the selection committee for seeing the heart of our story and the values we stand for.

From award to responsibility

Since receiving the SDG award in 2019, we have treated it not just as a recognition, but as a responsibility: to keep growing, improving, and raising the bar each year. And we have stayed true to what matters most: our people.

What people-first looks like

From investing in education and skills development to nurturing a healthy and inspiring workplace, we work hard to create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Because we believe that when people are empowered, the company thrives, and with it, our wider community. This recognition motivates us to stay focused on people, on sustainability, and on building a better, more inclusive future together.

Thank you

To our amazing team: thank you for everything you do. And once again, thank you to the organisers and jury for believing in our journey.
