Launching December 4, 2025

The Avetta Customer Awards are back — and bigger than ever! Now in their fifth year, these awards honor organizations and individuals who are setting new benchmarks in health and safety, sustainability, workforce management, and operational excellence. They represent more than recognition — they symbolize leadership, innovation, and a commitment to building safer, greener, and more resilient supply chains.

What It Means to Win an Avetta Customer Award

Winning an Avetta Customer Award is more than a trophy — it’s a testament to your organization’s dedication to protecting people, the planet, and performance. These awards spotlight companies and individuals who go beyond compliance to create cultures of safety and sustainability that ripple across industries.

For past winners, the impact has been transformative. Recognition at the Avetta Summit elevates brand credibility, inspires internal teams, and opens doors to new partnerships. As Katie Dolan, Manager of Health and Safety Programs at GDI-Ainsworth, shared:

“The Avetta Customer Awards celebrate progress and inspire continuous improvement. Winning (an award in 2025)  validated our hard work and showed the power of teamwork. We’re excited to keep building on this momentum and set even higher safety standards.”

Brian Francis, Director of Corporate Safety at RF MacDonald, echoed this sentiment:

“Receiving the Operational Excellence Leader award was a boost to our entire team — from management to field operators. It’s a great way to demonstrate to clients that we don’t just talk the talk, we walk the walk.”

These stories underscore what the awards represent: leadership that drives measurable change and inspires others to raise the bar.
