🌿 Discover the Categories of the Sustainable Impact Awards 2026!

Our first two categories are:

🏢 LARGE-SCALE COMPANY
🌱 SME

We invite companies that have made sustainability an integral part of the way they do business and create tangible environmental, social, or economic impact to showcase their work.

🏢 Large-Scale Company Category

Large-scale companies that fall outside the SME classification are eligible to apply under this category.

Applications may feature initiatives implemented across the entire company or focused on a specific facility, operation, product, service, or value chain.

Eligible initiatives may include efforts in areas such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy and resource efficiency, circular economy, waste and water management, biodiversity, sustainable products and services, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, community investment, local development, responsible supply chains, and sustainable governance.

🌱 SME Category

Businesses that qualify as SMEs under the applicable legislation are eligible to apply under this category.

We welcome initiatives from SMEs that develop innovative solutions with limited resources, integrate sustainability into their growth strategies, and create measurable positive change within their communities and operating environments.

Examples may include initiatives that improve energy and cost efficiency, repurpose waste, promote environmentally responsible production, support local employment, empower women and young people, deliver products and services with social impact, or advance sustainable procurement and supply chain practices.

🔎 Evaluation Criteria

Applications will be evaluated based on:

• Sustainability impact
• Innovation
• Measurable results
• Social impact
• Scalability and replicability
• Women’s leadership and inclusivity

The submitted initiative is expected to contribute to at least one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and applicants are encouraged to support the impact achieved with relevant data and evidence wherever possible.

Take your place among the initiatives leading the way toward sustainable transformation!
