Mercury awards help push the boundaries of what is possible in logistics and supply chain management.
The MHD Mercury Awards stand as a testament to the achievement within the logistics, supply chain, and materials handling industries.
These prestigious developments ensure sustainable practices and celebrate the dedication, innovation, and exceptional accomplishments of companies that drive the sectors forward each year.
From warehousing through to sea freight and everything in between, the awards acknowledge not only the major players in these industries but also the rising stars of tomorrow.
It is a platform where organisations can showcase their contributions and highlight their transformative impact within their respective fields.
Proudly sponsored by SEW Euro Drive, the Mercury Awards have served not only as a benchmark for excellence but also as a catalyst for continuous improvement and industry advancement.
By honouring outstanding achievements across various categories, from operational excellence to sustainability initiatives, these awards inspire others to raise their standards and push the boundaries of what is possible in logistics and supply chain management.
In 2024, the Mercury Awards will join hands with the Australian Bulk Handling Awards, forming a collaborative gala evening that promises to be a highlight on the industry’s calendar.
This combined event will bring together leaders and innovators from both the logistics and bulk solids handling sectors under one roof and offers a unique opportunity for networking, knowledge sharing, and celebrating the collective successes of these industries.
By integrating two distinct awards programs into a single gala event, the organisers aim to enhance brand visibility, expand industry connections, and create a larger platform for recognition.
This synergy not only amplifies the prestige of each individual but also fosters a deeper sense of community and collaboration among professionals who are shaping the future of logistics and materials handling.
Participants in the 2024 Mercury Awards can anticipate a grand celebration of achievement, marked by keynote speeches, industry insights, and, of course, the presentation of coveted awards.
The seven award categories are below –
1. Supply Chain Innovator of the Year
2. Best Technology Application
3. Sustainability Initiative Award
4. Freight Transport Solution of the Year
5. Best Storage Solution
6. Contribution to Industry Award (This Award recognises an outstanding contribution to the field of logistics and materials handling. This category is not open for nomination)
7. One standout category at the 2024 awards is the MHD Sustainable Warehouse Award.
Warehouses play a crucial role in the supply chain, and their adoption of sustainable practices can impact emissions reduction and environmental stewardship.
This category underscores a pivotal shift towards sustainability within logistics operations and aims to celebrate and promote the ground-breaking efforts of warehouses across the nation that are reducing their emissions and implementing sustainable practices.
“The MHD Sustainable Warehouse Award was introduced to recognise outstanding projects that celebrate sustainable initiatives,” says Lauren Chartres, Show Director.
“So many companies are either building or retrofitting facilities and we wanted to celebrate the innovations and commitment to ensuring your business is sustainable.”
The competition welcomes nominations from warehouses that are leading the charge in sustainability, using advanced technologies, renewable energy sources, and innovative carbon offset strategies.
Whether it’s through the deployment of electric industrial equipment or the adoption of cutting-edge renewable energy solutions, this competition is a platform for showcasing how warehouses are evolving to meet the demands of a more sustainable future.
