WEG was one of the highlights of the Energy Summit Awards 2026, taking first place in the Impact Corporation category and receiving the Global Award, the highest recognition of the awards. The ceremony took place on June 22 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, during the Energy Summit, one of the world’s leading events focused on energy, innovation, and sustainability, held in Brazil in partnership with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The Energy Summit Awards recognize companies, projects, and initiatives that stand out for their effective contribution to the transformation of the energy sector. The evaluation considers criteria such as level of innovation, impact, scalability, and relevance within the ecosystem.

The Global Award is a special distinction granted by the Energy Summit Council to companies or initiatives of global-class standards whose performance, impact, disruptive capabilities, and visibility represent the highest benchmark in the global energy sector.

With this recognition, WEG reinforces its position as a leading player in the energy transition, offering solutions that combine technology, efficiency, and sustainability on a global scale.
