The Inspire Awards are judged by industry leaders and experts in the field of sustainability.

The judges have been selected from all over the world in recognition of their knowledge and expertise, and sit independent of Bonsucro. There is a distinct panel for each of the three Inspire Awards categories.

We thank each judge for their time and effort in the Awards process, and for helping Bonsucro shine a light on our member’s sustainability efforts.
