Methodology

The award winners will be decided by the judges based on the submissions received, combined with thorough research, market knowledge and analysis. For categories where no submissions were received, the judges will examine market data and developments, in addition to regulatory filings, to decide the winners.

Each submission will be measured against objective evaluation criteria relevant to each of the categories. The entries will be evaluated based on a five-point scale that will assess the submission on the basis of:

  • Business performance
  • Measurable achievements
  • Innovation
  • Market impact
  • Strategic significance

The submissions will also be cross-referenced with relevant rating reports, regulatory filings, financial data as well as IAN’s proprietary research.
