Black Sun made a remarkable splash at last week’s prestigious Corporate & Financial Awards, scooping up two golds, and a host of silver, bronze and highly commended trophies. Our team was at the ceremony, showcasing the exemplary work we do for our clients across reporting communications, digital and ESG.

DS Smith won Gold for their Online Sustainability Report, with the judges praising its clear narrative and compliance with upcoming ESG reporting standards. They were also impressed by the report's interactive online presence which was enhanced with engaging video content and infographics.

Our work with IQE on their Capital Markets Day also won Gold in the Best Events category.  The event not only received overwhelming positive feedback across the industry but also played a pivotal role in elevating IQE’s share price to an 18-month high in January 2023.
