The powerlist recognizes leaders who drive purpose-driven innovation that creates tangible, real-world change — across industries, sectors, and geographies. The list is not limited to any single field; it celebrates impact in the broadest sense, from environmental sustainability to social innovation.
Placement is determined by the area of expertise selected at the time of nomination. Nominators are the ones who identify someone as a sustainability and impact leader, which results in a nomination to this specific list as well as to the main list. From there, public voting determines who makes the final 100.
Yes — it sits within the Symbol Powerlist ecosystem alongside other expertise-based recognitions covering Creative Communication, Customer Excellence, Employer Branding, Business Innovation, and Leadership, all tied to the flagship list of the 100 Most Influential People in Business.
