NOMINATIONS

For the first time, the nominations were determined by the market (through online voting). Suppliers could nominate distributors, and distributors could nominate their favorite suppliers.

JURY EVALUATION After the nomination process (where the companies with the most mentions were identified), two expert juries assessed the companies based on a wide ran ge of criteria, from professional expertise to sustainability, and much more. This year, we also considered factors such as mem bership in industry organizations (PPP for the Netherlands and BAPP for Belgium) and certificati ons like EcoVadis and B-Corp.
