Considered amongst the most prestigious of international awards in the retail and leisure industries, the RLI awards are organized by the RLI magazine, a global publication dedicated to those markets. The magazine chose to start this award several years ago, as a way to recognize the outstanding creativity and success of companies in these industries, acknowledging them based on their concepts, initiatives and design excellence.
