PKN ORLEN secures a top position among world's leaders according to “Top 250 Global Energy Company”.
In the latest Platts ranking, PKN ORLEN managed to retain the eighth position among global leaders in the “Refining&Marketing” category. In the overall classification, the company came in the 80th place, having moved up the ranking by the impressive 38 rungs. The “Top 250 Global Energy Company” list is a prestigious ranking compiled to recognise the 250 largest energy companies from around the world.
The ranking has been based on the 2010 financial results, using four key metrics: asset worth, revenues, profits and return on invested capital.
“PKN ORLEN has once again secured a place among global leaders in a category which we find critical. Being recognised as a top player in the industry, and not just in the region but globally, confirms that the company has consolidated its position despite the unstable operating environment. The strong performance and high scores from independent experts may be attributed to the fact that our strategic plans have been successfully implemented and that we are well prepared to operate in challenging conditions,” said Jacek Krawiec, President of the Management Board of PKN ORLEN, commenting on the ranking results.
The “Top 250” list honours major achievements of companies from particular sectors, in the regional and global categories. PKN ORLEN took the eighth place in the global “Refining&Marketing” category. In the overall classification, the company has emerged 37th in the EMEA region (10 spots up from last year) and 80th globally (up by 38 positions compared with the previous ranking).
