The Women in Governance, Risk & Compliance Awards 2026

The Women in Governance, Risk and Compliance (WGRC) Awards is dedicated to celebrating and championing the leadership, influence, and achievements of women across the GRC sectors. Our mission is to provide a dynamic platform that not only recognises outstanding contributions but also amplifies the voices of women, inspiring and empowering the next generation of business leaders.

Now entering its 5th edition in 2026, the WGRC Awards has evolved beyond a single evening of recognition into a thriving, year-round community. We bring together women and their allies to collaborate, share insights, and drive meaningful change. Through a diverse range of content, networking opportunities, and mentorship initiatives, we support women at all stages of their careers, helping them grow, thrive, and break barriers in an ever-evolving business landscape.

As part of the globally recognised #RISK Series, the WGRC Awards celebrate excellence, innovation, and leadership across the GRC profession, while championing greater visibility, representation, and progress for women in the industry.

This year’s entries have been nothing short of exceptional, showcasing remarkable achievements across a diverse range of disciplines. From risk and compliance to AI, sustainability, and leadership the 2026 shortlist highlights both emerging talent and established leaders who are driving meaningful impact across organisations and sectors.
