The winners list will not be publicly available until the end of July, Elizabeth Moore, the Awards Director at Corporate Livewire, told Opalesque.

Its performance over the last 12 months has reached 6.89%, with a volatility of 2.07%, lower than that of fixed income securities with an average maturity.
