INTERNATIONAL AWARD – ORP Congress 2025
THE ORP INTERNATIONAL AWARD, A PRESTIGE REFERENCE
The International ORP Foundation has the vocation of recognizing the effort, talent and commitment of companies, entities and professionals that stand out in the promotion, development and dissemination of initiatives that contribute to improving well-being in the field of work activity and optimize the value of people in companies.
For this reason, every year, coinciding with the celebration of the International ORP Congress, the International ORP Award is convened. Professional and public and private entities that accredit their commitment to the dissemination and application of the values of occupational risk prevention and business innovation may attend these awards.
The reports submitted must, necessarily, express the most relevant issues related to labor welfare and the integral health of workers. Special attention will be given to proposals in which innovation plays a decisive role.
All initiatives that opt for this prestigious international award must have demonstrated their effectiveness in a business environment, providing data that support their positive impact. Therefore, mere pilot experiences or punctual and external actions will not be acceptable.
The jury of the International ORP Award is made up of members of the Scientific Committee of the International ORP Foundation representing a dozen universities in the Americas, Asia and Europe.

The jury will meet in extraordinary session on 10 June 2025 at the headquarters of the Fundación Internacional ORP.
The day after the jury’s decision, a press conference will be held to announce the winner.
