Sustainability Awards Judges
The relevance of the Sustainability Awards depends entirely on two factors: the scale of engagement from all around the world, and the integrity, expertise and commitment of our judges. The jury consists of professionals with diverse geographical and professional perspectives, featuring brand owners, sustainability organisations, waste management, academia, R&D and manufacturing. You can refer to the rules around judging (for example, that when a judge’s organization enters the competition, they will abstain from commenting on or grading that submission) in the Rules and Guidelines, which can be found on the How to Take Part page.
Below is a list of current judges.
