ISS Ireland has been named Gold Sponsor of the Operational Excellence Awards 2026, bringing a global legacy of facilities management and workplace services to support Ireland's premier recognition programme for operational performance and business transformation.

ISS Ireland's sponsorship reflects a clear alignment between its core purpose and the principles underpinning operational excellence. The management of physical environments is fundamental to how organisations perform shaping workforce productivity, resource efficiency, and the conditions in which continuous improvement can take root. By connecting people and places to make the world work better, ISS operates at the intersection of human performance and operational outcomes.

That alignment extends to the values ISS brings to its customer partnerships: a commitment to delivering measurable impact, supporting strategic objectives, and making complex operational environments simpler to manage. These are the same standards recognised and celebrated across the Operational Excellence Awards' category framework.

ISS Ireland joins a roster of sponsors committed to advancing operational excellence standards across Irish industry. Their participation reinforces the programme's role as a platform for collaboration between service providers, operational leaders, and organisations pursuing meaningful performance improvements.

Winners will be announced at the Operational Excellence Awards 2026 ceremony on 27 May at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry, where Ireland's operational excellence community will gather to celebrate achievement across more than 20 sectors.
