The 2019 Finalists, nearly two-thirds of which were nominated from outside the United States, were announced today by program host S&P Global Platts, the leading global provider of energy and commodities information and spot market benchmarks.
Established in 1999 and often described as "the Oscars of the energy industry," the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards highlight corporate and individual innovation, leadership and superior performance in 21 categories spanning the entire energy complex.
"In yet another record year of participation, there was notably more contribution from Saudi Arabia and China, among the 42 countries that entered," said Murray Fisher, S&P Global Platts head of commercial events for the Americas, and director of the Global Energy Awards program. "We also saw strong representation in this year's categories focused on environmental, social and governance (ESG), with the 'Energy Transition Award' and a hotly-contested 'Corporate Award for Green Initiatives,' showcasing innovative programs that drive more efficient and sustainable energy use by large consumers."
The Global Energy Awards' independent panel of judges will select winners for each award category from its corresponding group of Finalists. The 'Energy Company of the Year' will be chosen from the entire list of finalists, regardless of original category.
