Energy Risk Awards 2016 – voting has now closed

The Energy Risk Awards celebrate excellence in commodity trading, risk management and related activities. The winners are not necessarily the biggest names in the industry; instead, they are the companies that have shown the most progress, or that have outdone their rivals to innovate or to satisfy their clients.

The entries are judged using a rigorous process involving detailed submissions, face-to-face discussions and feedback from counterparties, clients and vendors. This makes winning an Energy Risk Award a powerful and credible accolade that your business has achieved something extraordinary.

While these awards are global, they are predominantly designed to cover firms based in Europe and the Americas. For companies that are most active in Asia, the Energy Risk Asia Awards will open for submissions in July.
