The Saudi Arabia Cleaning, Waste Management & Facilities Management (SACWFM) Awards have steadily evolved into one of the Kingdom’s most credible platforms for recognising excellence across commercial cleaning, hygiene, and facilities management. Beyond trophies and titles, the awards reflect how the sector is maturing — driven by professionalism, innovation, and partnerships that directly support Saudi Arabia’s ambitious development goals.

This year’s edition once again brought together senior leaders, technical experts, service providers, end users, and solution innovators, all united by a shared objective: raising hygiene, cleaning, and FM standards across critical sectors. Among the many accolades presented, six categories from commercial cleaning recognized excellence in from infection prevention, workforce recognition to innovation and supplier collaboration.
