Enactus Global Wins Prestigious SX SHAPER AWARD 2025 – Showcasing the Power of Youth to Build a Sustainable World
At the SUSTAINABILITY EXPO 2025 (SX2025), ASEAN’s largest sustainability platform, the prestigious SX SHAPER AWARD was presented to honor individuals and organizations driving tangible, positive change for society and the environment. This year, the award was given to Enactus Global, a leading international non-profit and the world’s largest network of students and business leaders dedicated to creating a better world through action.
The SX SHAPER AWARD is more than a symbol of honor—it is a source of inspiration, affirming that transformative change can begin with ordinary people committed to building a sustainable future for all.
From the Classroom to Changing the World
Enactus Global is the world’s largest experiential learning network, founded to nurture students who not only have a “business mind” but also a “heart for the planet.” Today, Enactus Global drives over 75,000 projects in more than 35 countries, creating opportunities for communities, developing sustainable economic systems, and reducing environmental impacts.
Behind each project are students who identify problems close to home—from local community challenges to global crises—and choose not just to “talk about” issues, but to act on them to drive real solutions.
SX SHAPER AWARD: A Symbol of Inspiration
This year’s award not only recognizes Enactus Global as a leader in positive change, but also sends a powerful message: sustainability can start with one person and expand into collective impact for a Better World.
More than an Award: A Spark for Change
For Enactus Global, receiving the SX SHAPER AWARD is not an endpoint but a new beginning—an opportunity to inspire even more young people to rise and be part of the change. Ultimately, sustainability is not the responsibility of one, but of all.
Mr. George M. Tsiatis, President & CEO of Enactus Global, said:“I had the privilege of joining this incredible community around two years ago, but when we reflect on the legacy built over the past 50 years, my role is only a small part. Accepting this award today is on behalf of the millions of Enactus alumni worldwide who have built this organization, the hundreds of supporters behind the scenes, and the strong leaders and board members who have guided us. It is a true honor to be here. We are deeply grateful for this recognition and for the legendary warmth of Thailand’s welcome.”
