It is these enterprises that the Global Procurement Award ’s ‘ Enterprise of the Year ’ category recognises.  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.  Setting standards across industry The Enterprise  of the Year award is the flagship category for large-scale organisations that are not just running their procurement functions well, but are setting the standards for the rest of the industry.  It recognises those who demonstrate exceptional procurement excellence, strategic impact and innovation across their operations. As well as those building resilient supply chains, embedding ethical practices, driving collaboration with suppliers and creating measurable business value across every function they touch. These awards highlight the people and projects redefining excellence in procurement and supply chain. In today's challenging global landscape, recognising innovation, resilience and impact is vital to inspiring progress across the profession.
