NEW YORK , Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Companies and individuals from 37 countries have been selected as finalists for the Platts Global Energy Awards program, now in its 27th year as the industry's premier recognition event. The 2025 finalists, over 50% of which hail from outside of the United States, were just announced by program host and organizer S&P Global Commodity Insights, the leading independent provider of information, data, analysis and benchmark prices for the energy, petrochemicals, metals, shipping, commodities, and energy transition markets.     

A must-participate event, the Platts Global Energy Awards, often described by participants and attendees as the "Oscars" of energy, recognizes corporate and individual innovation, leadership, and exemplary performance in 21 categories spanning the entire energy and chemicals value chain.   

This year's Platts Global Energy Awards program saw increased nomination submissions from Latin America, which garnered finalists from Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. In addition to the Americas' finalists, many other nations were represented, including Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Finland, Turkey, and Australia. 

The award categories attracting the most nominations in 2025 were:  

Chief Executive of the Year  – honoring renowned leaders who are driving transformation, while demonstrating courage, perseverance, and integrity to the global energy community. 

Commercial and Emerging Technologies of the Year  – recognizing innovative solutions being developed and deployed across commodities and continents. 

Corporate Impact Award – Targeted Program – paying tribute to companies positively impacting the communities they serve through humanitarian efforts. This category attracted so many strong entries this year that the Platts Global Energy Awards committee split the category into two, breaking it into global regions: Global West (Western Hemisphere) and Global East (Eastern Hemisphere). 

"The shifting landscape within the energy industry has brought forward numerous business-impacting challenges. Platts Global Energy Awards is pleased to spotlight companies and individuals who not only navigate the environment well, but continue to lead the way in pioneering vision, progress, exemplary performance, and innovation for a more sustainable energy future," said Allison Sacco, Executive Producer, S&P Global Commodity Insights.
