The IChemE Global Awards are an excellent way to celebrate excellence and achievement in the chemical, biochemical and process industries. 

If you are new to the Awards, here's why you should think about applying, attending or sponsoring this year’s event:

1. Spoilt for choice

   There is something for all fields of chemical engineering including innovation, sustainability and process safety as well as industries such as renewable energy and oil and gas. There are also dedicated categories for organisations excelling in particular areas such as training and development, and equality, diversity and inclusion. The choice is yours – visit our categories page to see the full list. 

2. Free and easy application

   Time is precious, so we have made entry as easy as possible. A few contact details and a maximum of 2,000 words (you can write less if you want!) is all you need to provide in our simple application form. Remember, entering the awards is free and you do not need to be an IChemE member.

3. Great sponsors

   Successful events always attract excellent sponsors.

4. Judged by the profession

   Ever wondered who judges the awards? The answer is senior figures in the chemical and process industries and members of IChemE.

   Our expert judging panel reviews and scores every entry, overseen by our Head Judge, Jamie Cleaver.

   If you are a finalist or win an Award, you will know your achievements have been recognised by your peers and senior figures in the profession – what could be better?

5. Your success is our business

   IChemE likes nothing better than to promote good news, especially if it involves chemical engineering and chemical engineers.

   The Global Awards is one of our largest events and we use our teams of journalists, marketers and PR professionals to make sure that all IChemE members, and the wider chemical and process industries, have the opportunity to read about and watch video of your success and achievements.

6. Corporate social responsibility (CSR)

   We all know how important the chemical and process industries are to maintaining and improving quality of life, but reputations should never be taken for granted.

   The Awards are one of the best independent ways to enhance your reputation and demonstrate publicly your efforts to improve safety, efficiency and many other aspects of chemical and process engineering. Not convinced? Just ask your employees, shareholders, stakeholders, customers and communities why CSR matters.

7. A badge of quality and excellence

   Not everyone gets the opportunity to use the logo of a leading global professional body to endorse their organisation. But all finalists, highly commended and winning entries at the Awards are granted permission to use the official IChemE Global Awards logo. It is a tangible badge of quality and yours to keep and use on stationery, online and all your promotional material forever.

8. Reward your chemical engineers

   Chemical and process engineers are one of the most valued and well-paid professions in the world. They have the capacity to innovate, save money, maintain safety, enhance sustainability and optimise your business performance. Rewarding them with the opportunity to attend the IChemE Global Awards is another great opportunity to support their continuous professional development and job satisfaction.

9. Truly global

   IChemE's headquarters are based in the UK, but we have offices in other parts of the world and members from around the world. Since 1994, many different nations have triumphed making the awards a truly global event with international recognition.

10.  A night to remember 

    VIP treatment, great food and drink, entertainment, tension and drama. Win or lose, everyone who attends the IChemE Global Awards is guaranteed to leave with some wonderful memories – some of you may even have a precious IChemE Award trophy to share with your colleagues!

11.  Hospitality and networking
    
    Relationships are important and there aren't too many opportunities to share quality time with your business partners, customers and colleagues. That’s why the IChemE Global Awards are one of the best opportunities to host your own table of invited guests, as well as catch up with other leading and emerging figures in the chemical and process industries attending the event.
