Winners to be celebrated during event in Lisbon on October 10
Makati City, Philippines — 13 August 2025 — Cloudstaff has been honored with a Gold Stevie® Award in the Company of the Year – Business or Professional Services – Large category for their entry “Beyond Outsourcing: Where Values Meet Value,” and a Bronze Stevie® Award in the Achievement in Environment, Social, and Governance category for “Ethical Outsourcing in Action: Cloudstaff’s ESG Journey to the #1 Workplace” in The 22nd Annual International Business Awards® today.
The prestigious International Business Awards are widely recognized as the world’s premier business awards program, known for their rigorous evaluation and global reputation. This year’s program attracted over 3,800 nominations from organizations operating in 78 nations and territories.
Winners will be celebrated during a gala banquet at the Corinthia Hotel in Lisbon, Portugal on Friday, 10 October.
The winning nominations highlight how Cloudstaff has redefined success in the outsourcing industry through purpose-driven innovation. Despite widespread staff turnover challenges globally, including within the virtual staffing sector, Cloudstaff has maintained exceptionally high retention rates with client-dedicated teams, reflecting the company’s commitment to ethical business practices that yield outstanding results. Their pioneering mPC Green program and WOLv3 software have reduced energy consumption by 300,000 kWh annually and cut 210,000 kg of CO₂ emissions, achievements that earned them the 2025 Europa Award for Digitalisation for Sustainability. Additionally, Cloudstaff’s transparent leadership style recently earned CEO Lloyd Ernst the Most People-Focused CEO recognition at the HR Excellence Awards.
“These awards validate what we’ve believed from day one: business growth and corporate responsibility are not just compatible—they are inseparable,” said Ernst. “Our team has proven that when you prioritize people and the environments where we work, extraordinary things happen. This recognition belongs to every Cloudstaffer who lives our values daily and every client who trusts us to do outsourcing differently.”
“The 2025 International Business Awards have set a new benchmark for excellence,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Miller. “Our winners have demonstrated remarkable ambition and achievement in reaching their goals. We congratulate them on their well-earned recognition and look forward to honoring them on stage in Lisbon on 10 October.”
