Judging Philosophy and Process
The 2025 Global Recognition Awards will be conducted online, allowing judges to participate remotely from anywhere worldwide. The process starts with nominations from global companies and individuals, which are screened by industry experts against criteria like innovation, leadership, and sustainability, using a grading system from 1 (minimal) to 5 (world-class).
Shortlisted entries are evaluated with the Rasch model, which converts ordinal scores into a linear scale for objective comparisons across various categories. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered before winners are announced.

His combination of financial expertise, strategic thinking, and humanitarian values complements the multidimensional excellence the awards aim to recognize.
