Energy Risk Asia Awards 2023: The winners
Winning firms demonstrate resilience and robust risk management amid testing times
The winners of this year’s Energy Risk Asia Awards successfully navigated some of the most extreme and challenging conditions ever experienced in commodities markets. Over the past year, price volatility, economic uncertainty, inflation, rising credit risk and supply chain disruption have threatened the businesses of energy producers and consumers alike.
Our award winners stand out for their ability to continue offering first-class risk management products and services, in many cases providing much-needed financing, credit and market liquidity in a time of crisis.
Conducted annually, the Energy Risk Asia Awards recognise and honour firms with a presence in Asia that have demonstrated the very best practices in energy risk management over the previous 12 months. With commodities markets at the intersection of many trends, including increased geopolitical risk, long-term climate risk and advancing technology, award winners need to demonstrate not only optimal risk mitigation skills but also creativity and innovation in adapting to change and grasping new opportunities.
Taken together, our winners showcase some of the very best in innovative thinking that is helping shape the energy markets across Asia for years to come.
