Well done to all participants for such inspiring submissions."
Hervé Le FaouCPO, Heineken
“It was heartwarming to go through so many brilliant applications from different industries and from all corners of the World. I am left with a feeling that most organizations are finally embedding sustainability into their strategic choices; many with conviction and some with speed. However, whilst the future looks promising, it is not yet promised.”
Thomas UdesenCPO, Bayer
"An impressive, innovative, broad and well-articulated group of submissions, not easy to choose shortlists let alone winners!"
Mat LangleyGlobal Procurement Head ESG, CBRE

Geoff PeggHead of Sustainability & Enviroment, TELUS

Trudy SlagleSr. Director Environmental Social Governance Administration, Lamb Weston
"It has been inspiring to read so many great examples of companies tackling sustainability challenges and introducing scalable solutions on some of the most acute global issues like water scarcity, over-consumption, and human rights challenges in the supply chain. This whole process has re-evoked my belief in that we can still manage to live and do business within the planetary boundaries.”
