Energy Risk Asia Awards 2021
Recognising excellence in energy risk management

The Energy Risk Asia Awards 2021 recognise firms that are demonstrating best practice in risk management across the commodities complex. The winning firms are helping to drive the discipline to the next level through a mixture of innovation, determination and prudence.
In particular, the awards recognise pioneering thinking and leadership within energy risk management. This includes firms’ responses to loss events and improvements in frameworks that have driven tangible benefits for the firm and its customers. Original research is also honoured in these awards for the value it brings not only to clients, but the wider industry.
Our congratulations go to all our winners for their outstanding achievements in what has been another challenging year, the highlights of which are presented here.
