Global Supply Chain Awards 2026: Company of the Year
Entries for the Company of the Year award are now open. The Global Supply Chain Awards 2026 are looking for organisations that have excelled in the past 12 months in the supply chain sector.
During times of turbulence, the companies in our industry that shine are the ones that demonstrate adaptability to market challenges. With global disruption at the forefront of everyone’s minds, it is imperative that we look to celebrate the organisations capitalising on opportunities as they arise.
This award is open to small to mid-sized organisations with fewer than 1,000 employees, displaying growth and ambition with regard to their operations.
Companies come together
Our awards ceremony, which takes place in September, presents the perfect chance for companies to reflect on the previous 12 months and take stock of their wins and achievements.
This celebration brings together some of the most influential supply chain executives all in one room, as we sit down for an exclusive black-tie gala dinner and discuss the key initiatives that have driven their company’s supply chain success in recent times.
Taking place at the iconic JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, the Global Supply Chain Awards, we will be honouring those corporate milestones of your company as a whole, focusing on companies that have been able to display measurable impact, sustainability and growth in today’s competitive global market.
Taking stock of success
While it is important to focus on the future of our function, the relentless pursuit of excellence often allows companies little time to reflect on the success along the way.
This accolade gives us the time to stop, pause and take note of key initiatives driving your company’s success, how you’ve demonstrated agility during difficult global market conditions and how you as an organisation live and breathe the best practices responsible for seamless execution.
The judging criteria
When considering the application for this category, judges will be considering the following factors:
- What key initiatives have driven the company’s supply chain success?
- How has the organisation demonstrated adaptability to market challenges?
- What evidence shows measurable improvement or innovation?
- How does the company embody best practices in leadership and execution?
If you and your company measure up to these criteria and have a story to tell about your progress, we would love to hear from you.
Previous winners and this award’s importance
Last year’s winners of the Company of the Year Award, Viettel Post Joint Stock Corporation, were noted for their dedication to sustainability and social responsibility. Judges were particularly impressed by innovations such as electrifying vehicles and building energy-efficient hubs to advancing circular practices and delivering disaster relief, which demonstrated the firm’s commitment to environmental stewardship and social well-being while shaping its sustainable logistics future.
The efforts of this firm to contribute towards a more sustainable future for our sector show just how important this category is. It is important we reward these achievements, as we look to inspire the use of innovation to further our processes.
