This year we have made an effort to streamline the entire voting process, from the submission of initial nominations to considering the nominations to finally selecting the finalists. We will continue to improve every area where we see room for improvement to ensure that the awards become an even greater benchmark for the industry.”

Wilson added, “Additionally, I would like to express our satisfaction with the level of interest that the awards are getting each year. Our aim has always been to highlight the business and individual efforts to adapt and promote the values of the circular economy. In this fourth edition, we have also tried to make the awards more inclusive by establishing two new categories to recognize the contributions and commitment of women in this sector, which fills me with pride. Without a doubt, this is an area that we will continue to explore further.”
