Capital Finance International (CFI.co) is a print journal and online resource reporting on business, economics and finance. Each year, CFI.co seeks out individuals and organizations that contribute significantly to the convergence of economies and truly add value for all stakeholders.

Reporting from frontlines of economic convergence, CFI.co realizes that best practice is to be found throughout the world and the Awards Program aims to identify and reward excellence wherever it is found in the hope to inspire others to further improve their own performance.

This year, CFI.co has awarded WiseEnergy as best solar asset manager for UK.

Below the judges’ reasons:

WiseEnergy has made ESG a strategic priority (building on its biodiversity experience in the UK) ,and has a welcoming work culture with a 120-person team of professionals from diverse backgrounds providing global insights and local connections. The team is well versed in remote working technologies, and the company has introduced additional layers to ensure that every member feels connected to the whole — despite Covid-caused isolation. For example, WiseEnergy focuses on mental health and support for employees, and hosts monthly virtual update and strategy sessions to maintain connectivity and reaffirm its vision for the year ahead. All employees are passionate about a ruthless focus on performance, a strong commitment to ESG, and personal initiative for innovation and continuous improvement. Superior returns are achieved by maximising asset-generated revenue, reducing asset operational expenditure and executing risk mitigation for our clients. In this way, WiseEnergy maximises upside and also avoids losses for example by ensuring a proactive “spare part” procurement strategy . WiseEnergy is working to expedite the transition to clean energy — and is convinced that its market-leading investor returns will continue to provide momentum to the movement. The CFI.co judging panel salutes a small organisation with an outsized global impact, presenting WiseEnergy with the 2021 award for Best Solar Asset Manager (UK).
