“Commodity Business is now recognised as pivotal to human need, endeavour and prosperity like never before. In our business we have developed market-based mechanisms to achieve desired outcomes and, while not perfect, the responsibilities we have to our employers, shareholders and clients should not overshadow our need to develop markets responsibly and ethically,” says This email address is being protected from spambots.

“Our thoughts continue to focus on the critical macro questions of the day. These include the extent and direction to which monetary and fiscal policy is being directed towards a real fix for economies. At the same time, we strive to make sense of – and to implement – the new regulatory and reporting requirements being demanded of the financial services industry more widely. Many have been long due, whilst others might only serve to stifle markets and disincentivise investment and innovation.

“These new regulatory and reporting requirements will ultimately change the shape and character of this marketplace with the players, and their roles, already evolving to reflect a new market paradigm.

“Governments, regulators, investors, speculators, traders, manufacturers, consumers – all those with a stake in the commodity industry – rely on those organisations represented here. They are the best-in-class of the commodity business community.

“These awards recognise and reward talent and excellence throughout the commodity complex; to those companies making a significant impact on the way in which commodity business is conducted and recognising those institutions making a positive contribution to the development of markets, client responsibility, and investor satisfaction,” added Isherwood.
