Article Procurement Strategy Global Procurement Awards: Celebrating Agility and Impact By Georgia Collins June 03, 2026 undefined mins Share this article Prioritise Us on Google Share this article Prioritise Us on Google The Global Procurement & Supply Chain Awards 2025 The Company of the Year category recognises organisations delivering outstanding procurement performance through agility, creativity and innovation In a year driven by disruption, rapid technology innovation and rising ESG requirements, it is not only the largest enterprises that have risen to the challenge.  Across the global procurement landscape, small to mid-sized companies have demonstrated that agility and creative thinking can deliver results that rival those achieved at far greater scale.  Squeezed margins, volatile supply chains and rising compliance demands have forced procurement teams to work harder and smarter, and for many smaller organisations, that pressure has become a catalyst for genuine transformation. It is these companies that the Global Procurement Award's 'Company of the Year' category was built to recognise. Taking place on 8 September at the iconic JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, the Global Procurement Awards  will bring together the world's most influential procurement professionals for an exclusive black-tie gala dinner. The ceremony will honour the companies and individuals transforming the profession, at scale. Jabil at the Global Procurement & Supply Chain Awards 2025 Delivering outstanding procurement performance The Company of the Year award is the flagship category for small to mid-sized organisations that have delivered outstanding procurement performance, not through the weight of resources, but through the strength of their ideas, relationships and execution. It recognises those who demonstrate that procurement can be a genuine driver of business success, even without enterprise-scale budgets or global teams, through agility, creativity, and strong procurement practices. These awards play an important role in celebrating the people and projects that are pushing boundaries in procurement and supply chain. Tom Arild Trosterud, VP of Procurement at Hurtigruten and award judge 2025 Enter Here How to enter If your organisation has spent the past twelve months finding smarter ways to work with suppliers, stretching budgets further through creative procurement strategy or demonstrating what strong procurement practice can do for a business, this award is for you. What our judges are looking for: Overall success: How has procurement  contributed to the company's success? Judges want to understand the role procurement has played in the wider business strategy. Supplier collaboration: What initiatives or partnerships have enhanced supplier collaboration?  Efficiency vs. innovation: How has the company balanced cost efficiency with innovation?  Measurable impact: What impact has procurement had on business outcomes? Previous winners at the Global Procurement Awards  have included globally recognised organisations such as Uber, Lenovo, MTN Group and Royal Mail, each recognised not for scale alone, but for the quality and ambition of what their procurement teams delivered. The Global Procurement & Supply Chain Awards 2025 Why these awards matter Recognition in procurement has never mattered more. As the function continues to earn its place at the boardroom table, being named Company of the Year  at the Global Procurement Awards  is a powerful signal to customers, suppliers, partners and talent that your organisation is doing something worth paying attention to. The value extends beyond the trophy. Entering places your organisation in front of senior procurement leaders and global industry decision-makers, offering a platform to celebrate your team and position your company at the forefront of modern procurement, regardless of headcount or turnover. Co-located with Supply Chain LIVE and Sustainability LIVE, the September event brings together professionals across procurement, supply chain resilience and ESG under one roof.  In an era where these disciplines are increasingly inseparable, where a sourcing decision carries sustainability implications and a supplier risk can become a business risk overnight, the opportunity to connect across all three in a single location is rare and valuable.
