Why Take Part?

The IIRSM Risk Excellence Awards celebrate all those who contribute to protecting people, reputations and profits. We recognise those organisations, teams and individuals that champion better risk management to drive organisational and employee wellbeing.

By attending the IIRSM Risk Excellence Awards you are:

  • Recognising outstanding risk excellence of individuals, teams and organisations

  • Highlighting the importance of people, communication and working together to achieve integrated risk-decision making

  • Enhancing individual, team and organisational profiles within the risk, safety and wider business community

  • Raising the importance of risk leadership at all levels within an organisation

Our awards are independent and free to enter for both IIRSM members and non-members. Whether you work for a large multinational with big budgets and lots of resources, or an SME or charity with smaller budgets and limited resources, the principles and benefits of effectively managing risk equally apply.
