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.
