The Global Awards 2026 will bring together leading minds and organisations from across sustainability, procurement and supply chain, with this year's black-tie gala placing a strong focus on recognising AI-led innovation. The ceremony, taking place on 8 September at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London, unites three established award shows under one roof for an evening celebrating the people and businesses shaping the future of responsible, efficient and innovative operations.
AI and Digital Innovation Take Centre Stage
The event follows Day 1 of The London Summit, bringing together The Global Sustainability Awards, The Global Procurement Awards and The Global Supply Chain Awards all on the same night.
This year's ceremony reflects the growing role of technology and AI in driving progress across all three sectors, with four categories specifically dedicated to recognising digital solutions and the transformative impact of emerging tech.
The Global Sustainability Awards 2026 — The Tech & AI Award
The Tech & AI Award will recognise organisations and initiatives harnessing digital innovation, emerging technologies and AI to accelerate sustainability progress. The category highlights solutions that deliver meaningful environmental and social benefits, improve operational efficiency, enhance transparency and drive more informed decision-making.
Entries will be evaluated on how effectively technology or AI has addressed a specific sustainability challenge and the measurable outcomes achieved, including improvements in resource efficiency, emissions reduction and social outcomes, as well as the solution's potential to be scaled or adapted across sectors.
The Global Procurement Awards 2026
The AI in Procurement Award will celebrate organisations using AI to transform procurement processes and enable smarter decision-making, with entries assessed on integration into procurement operations and measurable improvements in efficiency, forecasting, supplier management, cost optimisation or risk reduction.
The Procurement Technology Award will salute organisations using innovative digital solutions to enhance procurement performance, celebrating technology that improves visibility, automates processes and creates greater value across the procurement function.
The Global Supply Chain Awards 2026 — Digital Supply Chain Award
Completing the technology-focused categories, the Digital Supply Chain Award will celebrate organisations using digital innovation to create smarter, more agile and efficient supply chain operations, recognising the use of data, automation and advanced technologies to improve visibility, connectivity and overall performance.
Entries will be judged on the digital tools or platforms implemented and the measurable impact on areas such as efficiency, resilience, collaboration and decision-making, spotlighting organisations that deliver lasting value through digital transformation.
