We are delighted to announce that Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business has won the 2025 w3 Silver Award in the Environmental & Sustainability category for Podcasts.
The w3 Awards have been celebrating creative excellence in digital content, design and experiences since 2005, honouring a diverse array of work from global giants to independent creators who set trends, break boundaries and shape the digital landscape.
Endorsed by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts (AIVA), an assembly of 500+ industry leaders from acclaimed brands, institutions and agencies from Microsoft, Netflix, The Walt Disney Company and beyond, this year marked the 20th anniversary of the Annual w3 Awards.
This year's competition received thousands of entries globally from Advertising agencies, PR Firms, Digital Agencies, In-house creative professionals, Web Designers, Graphic Designers and more.
Frankly Speaking - A Podcast on Responsible Business was awarded the Silver prize for its contribution to the Enviromental & Sustainability for Podcasts category.
All work was evaluated on its own merit, based on a standard of excellence as determined by the AIVA and, as such, a category may have several or no honorees at the end of the process. Entries were scored on a ten-point scale by the Jurors, with gold honorees generally receiving a score of 9 or above and silver honorees generally receiving a score of 7 to 8.9.
AIVA Managing Director Lauren Angeloni said:
"I want to congratulate the 2025 w3 Award winners. This year’s honorees represent the very best of creativity, innovation and storytelling in the digital space and we’re so proud to recognize their work as part of the 20-year legacy of the w3 Awards."

Sustainability reporting experts and NGOs welcome the adoption of the EU sustainability reporting standards (ESRS) by EFRAG submitted this week to the European Commission.
