Company SOTE Awards
The 2026 Winning Cohort
The five winners span remarkably different operating contexts: a global recycler with heavy mobile plant and acquisition-driven growth; one of the world’s largest engineering and technology companies operating across 78 countries; a single large manufacturing plant in northern Mexico; a professional services firm whose workforce is largely field-based and hybrid; and a multi-jurisdictional chemical producer spanning Turkish, British and American regulatory regimes.
That diversity is precisely what makes their commonalities meaningful. The characteristics described in this report are not artefacts of one industry’s regulatory environment – they recur across recycling yards, factory floors, engineering project sites and chemical plants.
