How entries are assessed
We apply a structured, criteria-based approach to reviewing all submissions. Each entry is assessed against a consistent set of principles designed to reflect real-world consumer expectations and responsible business practices.
Recognition is awarded based on merit and alignment with these criteria. Submission of an entry does not guarantee recognition.
Entries may be reviewed using publicly available information, submitted materials, and supporting documentation where applicable.

Responsibility
We review signals of responsible practices, including ingredient transparency (where relevant), sustainability considerations, and the overall integrity of claims made.

We consider how effectively the product or service supports health and wellbeing in a practical, accessible, and consumer-focused way.
