About this event:

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

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. Our independent judging panel consists of international risk, safety and business professionals from a variety of backgrounds and industries and are committed to identifying those doing incredibly valuable work in shaping a safer, healthier and more resilient world.
