Celebrating the businesses driving improvements in their supply chains, our Awards recognise innovation, progress and leadership in ESG (environment, social and governance).

Across entries from six continents, our hand-picked shortlist highlights companies that have made major improvements, utilised intelligent solutions, and created a lasting, positive impact on people or the environment.

The Awards cover three categories of Data & Insights, Community & Collaboration, and Technology & Innovation. An expert judging panel will select the final winners, who will be announced at our Xplore Sustainability conference.
