The GSA Awards remain the definitive celebration of excellence in strategic sourcing — and 2026 looks set to be our most exciting chapter yet. These Awards were created for individuals, companies & regions who push boundaries, lead with purpose, and deliver results that matter.
Across our three awards groups there's a place for every story worth telling. We want to hear yours. With category groups that include People, Business, and Programmes, there's space for every story worth telling — whether it's a new initiative, a transformed team, or a programme that changed the game.
The Global Sourcing Association is delighted to announce the 2026 Awards shortlist. Winners will be announced on Tuesday 22nd September at an Awards Ceremony at The Brewery, London. The GSA Awards celebrate the organisations, individuals and teams setting the standard for excellence in Strategic Sourcing, recognising the very best work from across the industry.
Kerry Hallard, CEO of the Global Sourcing Association, said: "Every year the bar rises, and this year's entries have raised it again. What stood out to me was not just the calibre of the work but the spirit behind it: teams partnering across borders, sharing knowledge and tackling the big questions head on, from responsible AI adoption to delivering genuine impact on ESG commitments. This is an industry that doesn't stand still, and our shortlist reflects that brilliantly. Thank you to everyone who entered, and warmest congratulations to our finalists."
