Company Awards Shortlist Announced

 

The shortlist has been announced for IJGlobal's 2023 ESG Awards, following a record number of submissions.

 

IJGlobal prides itself on the peer review nature of all the awards we host and this year the judging panel was of the highest calibre, giving an international focus to developments from across the international infrastructure and energy markets.

 

View the full shortlist from the Company Awards below.

 

AN UNMISSABLE MOMENT OF RECOGNITION AND ACHIEVEMENT

IJGlobal prides itself on the independent, peer-review nature of its infra/energy awards – IJGlobal Awards (greenfield and refinancing) and IJInvestor Awards (fund activity and M&A) – and hold an entirely transparent process, identifying the judges and ensuring they are what we believe to be the most celebrated awards to win in these industry sectors.

WHAT DO YOU AWARD? 

The global awards will showcase winners for best-in-class ESG credentials for specific projects and general environmental and sustainability policies.  

 

We are seeking to identify the organisations, transactions and individuals that have truly turned the dial on the environmental, social and governance front. They will reflect market developments in the last financial year – from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

 

We have a wide range of categories available for entry recognising the companies, transactions and individuals who are making the greatest ESG impact. The shortlists and winners are published on our website and social media.

RANKING CRITERIA 

Submission evidence

As with all our awards, we have pulled together an international judging committee – all of them established professionals in the infra/energy world – to review submissions. We will identify the judging panel in the coming weeks. Needless to say, judges who have an interest in a transaction or who have a particularly close working relationship with companies that are being judged (or indeed work at the company), will be recused from voting on those submissions to ensure a fair and transparent process. This will be policed by IJGlobal in the run-up to the judging session and on the day when the judging team will ensure an honest and fair process. At IJGlobal, we pride ourselves on hosting what we believe to be the most transparent, peer-review awards in this sector.
