The International Business Awards are the world’s premier business awards program. All individuals and organizations worldwide – public and private, for-profit and non-profit, large and small – are eligible to submit nominations. The 2024 IBAs received entries from organizations in 62 nations and territories.

More than 3,600 nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories. Savers Value Village, Inc. was recognized for its unique “triple bottom line” business model designed to benefit local communities by partnering with non-profits, to benefit the planet, and to benefit shareholders.

“Our mission is to champion reuse, and inspire a future where secondhand is second nature,” said Savers Value Village, Inc. General Counsel, Chief Compliance and Sustainability Officer Richard Medway. “We are proud to be running a business that is recognized by the International Business Awards as one that is excelling in CSR and ESG. We believe in the work we are doing, and see immense potential as consumers and businesses alike come to believe in it too.”

Discarded clothing remains the largest source of textile waste in the world. It takes 700 gallons of water to produce just one new cotton T-shirt, as much water as a human will drink in 2 ½ years. Since less than 1% of the material used to produce new clothing can be recycled into new textiles, the reuse of clothing, rather than the purchase of new clothing, is key to mitigating the environmental impacts of the textile industry.

Over the past five years, Savers Value Village, Inc. has found a reuse for over 3.2 billion pounds of reusable clothing and housewares and has paid its non-profit partners more than $530 million for goods donated to them, which helps fund their vital community programs and services.

Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 300 executives worldwide who participated in the judging process in June and July. Winners will be celebrated during a gala banquet at the InterContinental Hotel in Istanbul, Türkiye on Friday, 11 October.
