POLA has been ranked first globally out of 662 companies worldwide with award-winning track records in the packaging category of the "iF DESIGN AWARD," one of the world's largest design awards, in recognition of its five-year history of accolades.

The iF Design Award is an international design award hosted since 1953 by "iF International Forum Design GmbH" in Hanover, Germany. It comprises seven fields: Product, Communication, Packaging, Service Design, Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Professional Concept. Widely recognized globally as a mark of excellent design, it is known alongside America's IDEA Award and Germany's Red Dot Design Award as one of the "World's Top Three Design Awards." Each year, international jurors select outstanding designs from around the world.

POLA's design philosophy has emphasized fostering dialogue through its products.
It is speculated that the reason for its recognition at the iF Design Awards and other accolades is its approach to "design as communication" to create dialogue with customers.

A representative from POLA's Brand Design Department stated, "We are continuously researching with an eye toward future design, exploring ways to build communication that transcends generations, genders, and regions, and making sustainable proposals, which is possible precisely because POLA values human interaction and aims to be a brand with deep connections to society. Moving forward, we aim to create experiential designs from the perspectives of art, technology, and sustainability, and to convey new value beyond the realm of cosmetics."
