Global Supply Chain Awards: Global Trade & Logistics Award
The Global Trade & Logistics Award is the pinnacle of recognition for those firms who optimise their global trade and logistics operations. As a key category in this year’s Global Supply Chain Awards, we look to celebrate these achievements.
More than ever before, ensuring operational resilience is crucial to navigate the unstable and unpredictable global climate we currently face. Ensuring the seamless movement of goods is vital, and a challenge that deserves to be noticed in its own right.
Organisations are dealing with unforeseen circumstances on a regular basis, and in the trade and logistics space, the pioneers that are not only efficient while managing logistics, but excel through means of innovation and forward-thinking, are the exact recipients this award is made to honour.
Trading talented tales
The opportunity to learn more about how firms are using the current chaos of the economic instability and manage it in a way that makes them ever more resilient both now and in the future is an offer not to be missed.
Global leaders are set to attend the iconic JW Marriott Grosvenor House London on 8 September 2026 to celebrate the achievements of their teams and projects over the past year. Supply chain decision-makers with the knowledge to navigate new technology when it comes to trade and logistics will sit down to enjoy an exclusive black-tie gala dinner.
As well as the opportunity to talk all things trade at the table, we will be sharing the measurable success stories of those organisations that have managed risks and ensured resilience across borders.
With risk comes reward
To win this award, the applicants must demonstrate that they can not only survive the difficult international challenges in the sector, but thrive and have the results to show how performance improved or how end-users experience increased satisfaction.
Whether companies utilised new innovations or processes that increased visibility and enhanced efficiency, or introduced new technologies that led to a rise in output, our panel will be assessing the tangible impact of those moving goods with ease through global supply networks.
The judging criteria
For the Global Trade & Logistics Award, our judges will be assessing against the following:
- How has the organisation optimised global trade and logistics operations?
- What innovations or technologies have enhanced efficiency or visibility?
- How has it managed risk and ensured resilience across borders?
- What measurable results highlight improved performance or customer satisfaction?
Previous recipients of this award have been commended for their ability to tackle global logistics and trade compliance challenges with a proactive, technology-driven approach.
Why this award matters
Learning from fellow sector leaders on issues such as how to achieve a resilient, efficient and compliance supply chain has never been more important. It is important to put focus on firms with excellence with consulting, innovation and trusted partnerships, to deliver resilient, efficient and compliant supply chain solutions.
It is a talent to turn adversity into success, and your peers need to know about it. The opportunity to put yourself at the forefront of the conversation is fast approaching.
The deadline for entries to the Global Trade & Logistics Award is 29 June. Shortly after this, the judges will deliberate and the shortlist will be announced in August 2026.
The Global Supply Chain Awards, which are being celebrated at JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, will include other hard-fought categories such as the Sustainable Supply Chain Award and Transformation Project of the Year.
Alongside this night of celebration, the awards are co-located with Procurement LIVE and Sustainability LIVE at the QEII Centre, Westminster on 8 and 9 September.
We look forward to celebrating with the deserving recipient of the Global Trade & Logistics Award and honouring the supply chains that show how our sector is thriving and looking to a prosperous future.
