Today’s news has been dominated by a host of stories celebrating the winners from last night’s IJGlobal ESG Awards 2022 hosted at the Honourable Artillery Company, London.

The great and the good of the ESG world gathered to hear the finding of the exhaustive judging process conducted with full oversight by an independent panel of specialists from around the globe.

IJGlobal would like to take this opportunity to thank the judging panel for their efforts to compile what we believe to be the single most peer-review awards to be presented in the infrastructure and energy space.

This year, there was only one individual award – in the Rising Star category – that was presented to Arash Mojabi, London-based UK lead for sustainable finance at ING Bank.

There were a slew of company awards and deal awards to celebrate excellence in the ESG space across a global array of developments that played out during the judging period that runs from the start of April 2021 to the end of March 2022.

Here follows a run-through of the winners with links to the stories which we hope will inform submitters to next year’s awards, guiding them to identify the key elements that win over the judging panel.
