Pushing beyond:
The 2022 BeyondExcellence Awards
Our BeyondExcellence Awards celebrate those who raise the bar and deliver the extraordinary with excellence. Leaders who care, collaborate and push beyond, solving for today and creating a brighter future.
This year, we recognized 25 teams and individuals who went above and beyond in safety and security, quality, ethics, sales, inclusion, innovation and integrated solutions delivery. To build on the positive impact our people make every day, each winner chose a non-profit organization to receive a donation in their name. Together, we donated more than $50,000 to worthy causes around the world. Here, we share more on our award winners.
