The European Cleaning & Hygiene Awards 2025 are officially open for entries, offering an opportunity for professionals in the cleaning sector to showcase their achievements.
Marking the eighth edition of this pan-European event, the organisers are calling on service providers, manufacturers, distributors, and individuals to submit their nominations for a chance to be recognised for their outstanding contributions to the industry.
This year, organisers have introduced two brand new categories – International Expansion and Best Company to Work For – ensuring an even more comprehensive celebration of innovation, excellence, and progress within the cleaning and hygiene sector.
The International Expansion category will recognise businesses that have successfully grown their geographical footprint over the past year, highlighting their strategies for market entry, local adaptation, and sustained growth in global markets. The Best Company to Work For award will celebrate organisations that excel in fostering outstanding workplace cultures and employee experience.
In addition to the two new categories, the Best Use of Smart Solutions award has been renamed to Digital Transformation, recognising the businesses that have successfully leveraged technology to revolutionise their operations, enhance customer experience and drive innovation. The Sustainability – Best Practice award will once again be split to reward both service providers and manufacturers.

- International Expansion (new for 2025)
