We enlist a panel of independent, expert judges

The judging process.

We’ve assembled a panel of over 16 independent, expert judges with diverse expertise in sustainability, social impact, certification, accreditation, and auditing.

The judging phase typically lasts 4-6 weeks. During this time, each nomination is reviewed by a minimum of three judges, who will score your entry out of 10 across the criteria for your chosen category.

The top-scoring nominations in each category will be notified as finalists by the end of September, along with next steps.

We’re incredibly grateful to our judges for volunteering their time. Each judge is carefully selected and assigned to ensure there are no conflicts of interest that could influence the results.
