The category

What deserves recognition?

For innovations with a target recorded before launch and results that can be checked against it. We look beyond the first positive result to whether the benefit lasts and what it costs to deliver.

Evidence to prepare

  • A dated, pre-launch record of the original impact target
  • Measured outcomes and supporting customer or independent evidence
  • Follow-up results and a transparent breakdown of delivery costs

Supporting evidence can be self-reported, customer-attested or independently audited. Stronger proof carries more confidence.
