IJGlobal ESG Awards launched – by popular demand


It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of IJGlobal ESG Awards – the culmination of a couple of years of planning in close cooperation with industry experts.

With these awards, 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 2020 to 31 March 2021 – and we are very excited to be launching the submissions portal today.

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.

We will be removing any reference to ESG from our other infra/energy awards – IJGlobal Awards (greenfield and refinancing) and IJInvestor Awards (fund activity and M&A) – in order that these awards stand separate and celebrate achievements in this burgeoning space.

We look forward to receiving your submissions in the coming weeks and building a marketing head of steam to celebrate the successes on such an interesting and important element that is increasingly central to the way in which infrastructure and energy is delivered across the globe.

The final deadline for submissions is 8 July (2021) and we plan to announce the winners at a (fingers crossed) physical event towards the end of October.
