The World CBD Awards is an annual event that highlights excellent CBD and Hemp products that have been deemed safe, compliant and effective. Brands across the globe are nominated and honors are awarded to “those who go the “extra mile” making the industry a safe and respected marketplace; showing they operate with integrity, transparency & ethical business practices,” according to the organization’s website. Of the many brands that were nominated this year, 160 were selected as finalists across 33 categories with Sky Wellness holding four of those coveted positions.

The awards are based on a unique evaluation process that utilizes an independent group of judges made up of scientists, physicians, and professionals in the CBD/Hemp industry. Transparency and ethics are an important aspect of the judging method and brands are asked to send non-branded samples for blind testing to ensure a completely unbiased assessment. The scoring matrix for each category is broken down into the following, allowing for an honest, accurate and fair assessment of each product:

30% - Lab report result 20% - Research panel report 20% - Physical Testing (Touch, Smell, Taste, Texture and feel) 20% - Application and supporting documents 10% - Aesthetics and safety report

This year’s theme is “we can do better” and Sky Wellness’s collection of premium, THC-free CBD products, including isolate and Full Spectrum products, are leaning into that concept through a strong focus on high-quality production, transparency in safety and testing results, and diligence with consumer education and product knowledge training for all their retail partners. For their efforts, the company has seen numerous awards and accolades since their launch in 2019, and the recognitions have also been reflected in company sales which are seeing triple digit year-over-year growth.

“We are building a market leading CBD CPG house of brands,” says Thom Brodeur, CEO of Sky Wellness. “The recognition of our hard work by significant industry organizations like the World CBD Awards, retail, CPG and CBD industry media, and the vote of confidence of our retail partners is what drives us to continue to keep our heads down to bring more product innovation to market and to continue elevating transparency across the industry,” Brodeur concluded.

Finalists for the World CBD Awards will be announced at the formal gala and awards ceremony to be held on Thursday July 14, 2022 in Barcelona, Spain as part of 4-day industry event including an expo and conference. The events aim to bring together industry professionals in an effort to increase global standards of trade in the rapidly growing CBD industry. Overall, there is a forecasted growth of 32% CAGR year on year (Compound Annual Growth Rate) and an expected $20 Billion dollars over the next 5 years.
