Energy Voice Gold Awards
In light of the current coronavirus crisis, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the Energy Voice Gold Awards due to take place in September this year.
This was not a decision we arrived at lightly and while The Gold Awards aim to recognise outstanding business achievements within the energy sector, we believe that cancelling the event will give the currently challenged industry time to deal with and bounce back from the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Gold Awards is an important occasion in the energy industry calendar and we will continue to plan our 2021 event. Thank you for all your support and we look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Is your company making a difference beyond the corporate sector? Does its reach extend further than the energy industry and have a positive impact in society? Then this is the award for you. It recognises companies that provide excellent examples of best practice in CSR.

Dr. Mildred Dresselhaus Award
Given the scale of the gender imbalance in the oil and gas industry, we feel it is appropriate to have an award which highlights the contribution of woman in the sector. However, we would strongly encourage companies and organisations to enter female employees in the other categories, as well. From apprentice to CEO, this category is open to any woman who is making a positive contribution to the sector, mentorship and next generation of innovators. It is named after Dr. Mildred Dresselhaus, who unlocked the secrets of carbon’s molecular structures.

Industry Leader Award
This award is open to outstanding energy leaders, who deserve to be recognised for their appetite for continued learning, mentoring and influence.

Innovation Award
The way the world consumes energy is changing. Electric vehicles, windfarms and drilling rigs all have a part to play in securing energy’s future. Whether it’s a subsea tech breakthrough or a new way of approaching a problem or routine practice, this is the category for you. Money and time saved, increased output or barriers broken can all be used as evidence. Multiple companies can enter a joint bid if they collaborated on the innovation.
