Susie Hewson, founder of sustainably designed natural period products brand Natracare, has been named the winner of a Gold Stevie® Award in the Lifetime Achievement category and a Silver Stevie® Award in the Social Change Maker of the Year (Gender) category in the 21st annual Stevie Awards for Women in Business.
The Stevie Awards for Women in Business honour the achievements of women executives, entrepreneurs, employees and the companies they run—worldwide. The Stevie Award has been hailed as the world’s premier business award.
Nicknamed the Stevies for the Greek word for “crowned,” awards were presented to winners on Friday, November 8, during a gala event attended by nominees and their guests at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
“I really appreciate the honour of being recognized by the Stevie Awards for my life’s work,” Hewson said. “I founded Natracare in 1989 in the U.K., and I have spent the last 35 years positively disrupting the period care industry and tirelessly campaigning for regulation and transparency, ultimately leading to products that are safer for our bodies and have a lower impact on our planet. Through Natracare and our #BeKind mission, I continue to encourage consumers to look past the endless greenwashing and make informed, conscious and positive choices.”
More than 1,500 entries from organizations and individuals in 36 nations and territories were submitted to the Stevie Awards this year for consideration in more than 100 categories. Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners were determined by the average scores of more than 200 business professionals around the world working on seven juries.
Maggie Miller, president of the Stevie Awards, said, “In its 21st year, the Stevie Awards for Women in Business received an outstanding body of nominations. We are gratified by how meaningful it is to women to win a Stevie Award and how impactful it can be on the futures of their careers and their organizations. We congratulate all of this year’s Grand, Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners for their achievements.”
