TOP 100 | SUBSECTOR LEADERS | METHODOLOGY
A new ranking methodology
It takes more than financial strength to be a global leader in the energy industry. We analyze 20+ factors across 8 dimensions of company strength to find the real leaders.
Our proprietary methodology goes beyond financials to capture a holistic view of what it takes to succeed today and in the future.
