Jeffrey W. Martin Honored with Lifetime Achievement Award at Platts Global Energy Awards
Jeffrey W. Martin, Chairman and CEO of Sempra, has been awarded the lifetime achievement accolade at the Platts Global Energy Awards held in New York City on December 12, highlighting his exceptional impact on the energy industry. The award, presented by S&P Global Commodity Insights, is a testament to Martin's visionary leadership and his effective guidance of Sempra as a pioneering player in the global energy market.
During the ceremony, Dave Ernsberger, co-president of SP Global Commodity Insights, praised Martin's exemplary leadership amidst the complexities of the modern energy landscape. He emphasized that organizations committed to developing innovative solutions for decarbonization, which markets, governments, and consumers are increasingly demanding, will define future success. Martin’s strategic reorientation has enabled Sempra to adapt to these evolving market demands while maintaining a positive trajectory in the global energy sector.
Under Martin's stewardship since early 2018, Sempra has undergone a significant transformation. The company has successfully launched a new corporate strategy, which has not only doubled its market value but also positioned it as a leader in facilitating sustainable energy practices. Lisa Larroque Alexander, Senior VP of Corporate Affairs at Sempra, noted that Sempra now serves more residents with their fundamental energy needs than any other utility holding company in America, showcasing its commitment to customer-centric service.
Martin’s tenure reflects a broader vision to shape Sempra into North America’s premier energy infrastructure firm. This ambition has been supported by robust transactional activities, with approximately $30 billion executed since 2017, allowing for capital reinvestment into higher-growth sectors, ultimately boosting financial returns for stakeholders. His strategic leadership in the areas such as electrification, decarbonization, and energy security has further solidified Sempra’s market position, enhancing its growth projections into the next decade.
A vital aspect of Martin’s legacy lies in cultivating a high-performance culture within Sempra, where over 20,000 employees are united and motivated to prioritize community safety and service affordability. Alexander remarked on how Martin’s commitment to fostering this culture has been a critical factor in Sempra’s overall success.
The Platts Global Energy Awards, regarded as the ‘Oscars of the energy industry’, celebrated Martin’s achievements among hundreds of industry executives, showcasing innovation, leadership, and performance excellence in the energy sector. This year’s ceremony was emceed by CNBC reporter Kristina Partsinevelos, with winners chosen by an independent panel of judges and streamed live, adding a layer of accessibility to industry stakeholders.
In addition to Martin's recognition, Sempra also earned nominations in two other categories during the awards, further establishing its reputation for excellence and innovation in energy transitions. The company was a finalist for the Energy Transition Award – LNG, and Emily Shults, Sempra's Senior VP and Chief Business Officer for low carbon solutions, was recognized for the Rising Star Individual Award.
With its expansive footprint and corporate ethos centered around sustainability and operational excellence, Sempra continues to be a driving force in North America’s energy ecology. The company remains focused on delivering reliable energy resources to nearly 40 million consumers, standing out for high-performance metrics as evident by its inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index North America.
