UK Alumni Association of the Year – ESG & UK Education Impact Award

UK Alumni Association of he Year-ESG & UK Education Impact Award

Why the UK Alumni Association of the Year – ESG & UK Education Impact Award?

The UK Alumni Association of the Year – ESG & UK Education Impact Award celebrates an alumni association in Taiwan that has demonstrated outstanding leadership in promoting both the core values of UK education and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.

UK education is recognised worldwide for its emphasis on critical thinking, global citizenship, inclusivity, and innovation. This award honours alumni associations that embody these ideals — delivering meaningful impact through events, outreach, and advocacy that advance sustainability, diversity, well-being, and cross-cultural understanding.

We are looking for associations that:

  • Promote the value and relevance of UK education
  • Provide platforms for continuous learning and collaboration among their alumni networks
  • Demonstrate leadership through service, engagement, and ESG-aligned initiatives
  • Form partnerships that expand their impact across communities or industries
