complex.
"In yet another record year of participation, there was notably
more contribution from Saudi

the Americas, and director of the Global Energy Awards program.

'Energy Transition Award' and a hotly-contested
'Corporate Award for Green Initiatives,' showcasing
innovative programs that drive more efficient and sustainable
energy use by large consumers."
The Global Energy Awards' independent panel of judges will
select winners for each award category from its corresponding group
of Finalists. The 'Energy Company of the Year' will be
chosen from the entire list of finalists, regardless of
