The Swedish Quality Award

Since 1992, SIQ - Institute for Quality Development has awarded the Swedish Quality Award to organizations that have systematically developed their quality and improvement work at the organizational level in the long term and thereby achieved sustainable success.
The Swedish Quality Award is awarded to organizations that have demonstrated significant results of their successful quality work. The organizations are highlighted from a holistic perspective where strengths and opportunities for improvement are identified in detail based on the SIQ Management Model, which is a basis for how organizations achieve success with their operations.
The five areas that determine which organizations receive the award are the ability to create value with customers and stakeholders, lead for sustainability, involve motivated employees, develop value-creating processes and work with improvements and create innovations.
The purpose of the Swedish Quality Award is to support the development of systematic improvement work at the organizational level and to highlight good role models to inspire others, both in the private and public sectors.
