Judging Process
The selection of winners in each category will be conducted by a distinguished panel of 3 judges for each category, totalling 9 judges (collectively, the “Jury”). These judges are recognised leaders in sustainability, development sectors, government and the GFT leaders. They will evaluate and choose the winners based on the presentations made by professional assessors, considering predetermined criteria.
To ensure a thorough evaluation, the Jury will be supported by a group of experts from the Control Union. These professionals will be responsible for the initial screening of applications and conducting on-site verification visits.
