1. Independence of Selection

The Century Honours are conferred through an independent editorial process under the published criteria of each national edition. There is no application fee, nomination fee or paid jury vote.

2. Honours Are Not Sold

A distinction, title, placement in a Hall of Fame or editorial recognition cannot be purchased. The Century does not accept payment in exchange for selection or conferment.

3. Membership and Commercial Separation

Membership, advertising, institutional partnership and event participation do not influence nomination, review or conferment. Members and commercial partners receive no preference, and non-members remain equally eligible.

4. Separation of Related Enterprises

This partnership is disclosed as an implementation outcome aligned with the global ESG framework, including UN Sustainable Development Goal 17, and remains separate from commercial selection. Companies and institutions affiliated with an honouree or selection subject are strictly excluded from serving as a public-record partner in that year. Partnership resources and editorial review remain separate, so no related enterprise can create the appearance of an exchange or influence the record.

5. Ceremony Participation

A ceremony seat, reception place or other event service is separate from the distinction. Attendance does not constitute an honour, endorsement or affiliation with any honouree.

6. No Access or Endorsement Guarantee

No membership, ticket, partnership or service guarantees personal access to, introduction to, photography with or endorsement by a particular honouree, speaker, guest or public figure.

7. Accuracy, Correction and Withdrawal

The editorial record may be corrected when material facts are shown to be inaccurate. A distinction may be withheld or withdrawn where eligibility information was materially false or where continued publication would seriously compromise the integrity of the record.

8. Enquiries

Questions about the policy or a published record may be sent to support@century-partners.org. Commercial enquiries are handled separately from the editorial review process.
