About The Award

LUXlife is proud to present the Global Vegan Awards 2025!

Now in its fifth year, this prestigious event continues to honour the businesses and innovators that are shaping the future of the Vegan Industry. From plant-based food innovations to sustainable fashion and cruelty-free beauty, the Global Vegan Awards 2025 celebrates the companies leading the charge in creating a more compassionate, ethical, and environmentally friendly world.

The Global Vegan Industry is one of the fastest-growing sectors today, playing a crucial role in the global economy and social progress. Worth billions of dollars, this industry is driving transformative change across various fields, including food, fashion, cosmetics, and beyond. With a rising demand for plant-based alternatives, cruelty-free products, and sustainable practices, the Vegan sector is not just a trend, but a movement reshaping industries and lifestyles worldwide.

The past year has been marked by incredible advancements, with innovations in plant-based foods, cruelty-free beauty products, and eco-conscious fashion gaining unprecedented traction. From plant-based meats that mimic traditional animal products to revolutionary skincare that prioritises both beauty and sustainability, the industry is pushing boundaries like never before. The commitment to reducing environmental impact has also been a major driver, with companies across the board prioritising sustainable production methods, ethical sourcing, and responsible packaging.

Several key sectors within the Vegan Industry are experiencing exceptional growth and innovation. The plant-based food sector is leading the way, with new alternatives to dairy, meat, and seafood rapidly gaining popularity, making veganism more accessible to a wider audience. The Vegan Fashion Industry is also expanding, with brands offering stylish, sustainable clothing that is both vegan-friendly and eco-conscious. Meanwhile, the cruelty-free beauty sector continues to thrive, with brands committed to animal welfare, using plant-based ingredients and sustainable production methods. These sectors, along with the vegan wellness and tech industries, are driving the future of a plant-based world.

The Global Vegan Awards 2025 are dedicated to honouring the outstanding businesses that are paving the way for a compassionate, sustainable future. These awards celebrate companies that have demonstrated excellence, innovation, and leadership in the vegan movement, from those developing groundbreaking plant-based products to those leading the charge in cruelty-free and eco-friendly practices. Whether it’s a pioneering food company revolutionising vegan dining or a skincare brand setting new standards for ethical beauty, each nominee plays a vital role in shaping a more sustainable and ethical world.

Entering the Global Vegan Awards 2025 provides a unique opportunity to showcase the achievements of pioneering businesses and recognise those driving progress in the vegan industry. Whether a well-established global brand or a rising startup, all contributors to the vegan movement are encouraged to participate.

Frequently Asked

When did LUXlife launch?

Today, LUXlife is one of AI Global Media’s most popular standalone publications but it launched as a bi-product of the luxury lifestyle sections from two of our flagship brands, Acquisition International & Wealth & Finance. In this respect, we’ve been active in the Lifestyle Sector since 2010; however, as demand for this type of coverage increased, we made the decision, in 2015, to separate the content and launch LUXlife, as an independent brand.

Who nominated me?

A large part of the nomination process is driven by LUXlife, we spend a great deal of time identifying potentially suitable candidates within their appropriate markets. A publisher-cast nomination doesn’t hold any more weight than a self, or third-party nomination, they all filter through to the research stage in the same manner. If you didn’t self-nominate the nomination will have come from either a third-party vote via our online voting form or, by us the publisher. We run the nomination process via our website entirely anonymously, prohibiting us to provide specific details. Tried and tested over the years, response rates are always higher this way. As we operate in this manner, we run a very rigorous filtering system and do not directly link the number of votes received with success. We store encrypted versions of the IP address associated with the nomination, allowing us to track unusual behaviour.

I’ve accepted the nomination, what happens next?

Once a nomination is accepted, the organisation will be moved on to our shortlist. Shortlisted parties are encouraged to submit supporting materials via our optional questionnaire. This is the perfect opportunity to put forward any specifics you’d like our judging panel to take into consideration before they undertake extensive research for up to 8 weeks.

What are the costs?

There are no obligatory costs in accepting a nomination or winning a LUXlife award. In fact, to demonstrate our commitment to this, all our winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain, regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to leverage the value of the award and our seal of approval. We offer a variety of promotional opportunities to our winners. as we have an extensive network and we know, more than anyone, the wider business benefits from promoting industry awards. It’s important to highlight, all conversations pertaining commercial add-ons are conducted after winners are announced, so there is no possibility an organisation can influence any internal decisions, based on their appetite to spend on marketing; this remains our utmost concern.

Who makes the final decision?

We have an internal panel who assess those shortlisted. The team possesses in excess of 30 years of experience collectively in researching businesses across a range of industry sectors. The team have expertise and experience across a range of fields including technology, marketing, customer relations, luxury products & services and the arts. The team are dedicated in their research, in fact-checking and mediation; allowing the panel to operate with efficacy and dependability.

When’s the ceremony?

We do not gather our winners together to present the news. We’re a little bit too new-media for that! All announcements are made digitally, online and across our network. Hosting events and celebration dinners is an expense we’d rather our clients not entertain. We’d much rather keep the cost of our services and products low, so our winners can choose to spend money on marketing that generates real-world value.

So, what happens if I do win?

You get to select the level of coverage that suits you and we set to work to prepare all the relevant elements in time for our public announcement. Our main coverage takes the form of a digital winner’s magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, certificates and varied online packages offering social media exposure. We have a highly experienced editorial and production department who will guide you through this process and give you full control over your eventual coverage.

Why does your email domain differ from your website domain?

Because we send a large volume of emails, we separate our campaign email sends from our transactional ones. This structure helps to ensure a prompt and thorough response from one of our diligent team members. The sending email address will always be recognisable but please contact us via the address on this page if you have any concerns.
