Ensuring Integrity in Awards Management Process
At the Circular Economy Awards, we make sure our entire evaluation process is fair, transparent, and genuinely reflective of the work being done in the circular economy space. All entries are reviewed against clear criteria, assessed by independent and carefully selected experts, and checked for any conflict of interest. Submissions are scored objectively by Assessor(s).
Each applicant achieving the qualifying score, defined by the Award criteria, is recognised and declared a winner. There can be multiple winners within the same award category.
All award applicants are provided with a feedback report for their consideration to help applicants improve adoption of circular principles and models as per international standards and best practices.
All jurors sign confidentiality and conflict-of-interest agreements to safeguard impartiality and the integrity of the process.
