Reflections from the judges

"Having been a judge for several years in multiple panels, the WSA 2022 submissions are the best ones that have inspired me so far, from a quality and relevance perspective. You really see that the world is moving into a business model shift space through these impressive and bold sustainability innovations that will change the world and leave a better legacy for the planet once scaled up. Well done to all participants for such inspiring submissions."

“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.”

"An impressive, innovative, broad and well-articulated group of submissions, not easy to choose shortlists let alone winners!"

"It's great to see so many leaders and organizations driving progress on sustainability issues including climate change."

"The entries I have reviewed exemplify what it means to be committed to sustainability. While aspirational goals are great, and necessary, it’s inspiring to learn about the real work occurring across these categories, delivering results on issues that matter most."

"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.”
