QNET, a global lifestyle and wellness-focused direct selling company, has received five 2026 Middle East and North Africa Stevie® Awards. The awards recognize initiatives in social impact, sustainability, circular economy, community building, and responsible innovation.
The Stevie® Awards rank among the world’s premier business awards. They honor achievements in innovation, leadership, and business excellence across industries and markets. These latest wins add to QNET’s growing list of international recognitions. Several of the awarded initiatives have earned industry accolades in previous years.
QNET’s five awards include one Gold, one Silver, and three Bronze Stevie® Awards across diverse categories.
“Receiving five Stevie Awards across such diverse areas is a meaningful recognition of the work our teams and partners are doing,” said Mattias Mildenborn, Chief Executive Officer at QNET. “Innovation is not limited to products or technology. It is also about finding new ways to engage communities, address real-world challenges, and create more sustainable and meaningful impact.”
QNET’s “Remember Your Why” campaign earned a Gold Stevie® Award for Innovation in Social Media Community Building. The campaign uses authentic storytelling and personal purpose to strengthen digital communities. In QNET’s relationship-driven business model, purpose-led storytelling helps create deeper and more authentic engagement.
QNET’s partnership with VeryNile received a Silver Stevie® Award for Most Innovative Circular Economy Practices. The initiative tackles plastic pollution in the Nile River. It supports fishermen who collect waste and women artisans who upcycle materials into useful products. The project shows how environmental action can also create skills, livelihoods, and community participation.
The Bernhard H. Mayer Open Innovation Challenge received two Bronze Stevie® Awards for Most Innovative Social Impact and Innovative Achievement in Corporate Social Responsibility. Developed with design universities across the Middle East and North Africa, the challenge supports Breast Cancer Month (Pink October). Student designers created innovative watch concepts inspired by breast cancer awareness. The winning design will become a Bernhard H. Mayer timepiece. A portion of sales proceeds will support a local breast cancer association in the winner’s home country.
QNET’s Green Legacy Programme earned a Bronze Stevie® Award for Innovative Achievement in Sustainability. The multi-award-winning initiative focuses on reforestation and ecosystem restoration. It reflects QNET’s commitment to long-term environmental stewardship through practical action.
“Having our initiatives recognized across social impact, sustainability, circular economy, and community engagement reinforces our belief that responsible business is about the choices we make and the impact we create,” Mildenborn added. “We want innovation to have a purpose—whether that means empowering communities, supporting young talent, protecting the environment, or creating stronger connections between people.”
Together, these initiatives show how QNET applies innovation beyond products and commercial activity. The company strengthens communities, supports emerging talent, addresses environmental challenges, and fosters collaboration across its ecosystem.
This approach reflects an evolving model of direct selling. Entrepreneurship, community, and innovation intersect with broader social and environmental priorities. By connecting employees, independent representatives, students, academic institutions, community organizations, and other partners, QNET creates opportunities that extend beyond traditional business.
The five Stevie® Awards reinforce QNET’s focus on responsible innovation, purposeful collaboration, and community-led initiatives across its global markets.
