Global Finance has announced its selections for the fourth annual Sustainable Finance Awards for 2024. Winners have been chosen across multiple global and regional categories as well as in 53 countries, territories & districts. A full report on Global Finance’s Sustainable Finance Awards 2024 will be published in the March print and digital editions as well as online at GFMag.com. Winners will be honored at Global Finance’s Investment Bank and Sustainable Finance Awards Ceremony in London. Date and venue TBA. This awards program recognizes global, regional and local leadership in Sustainable Finance—funding for initiatives designed to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change and help build a more sustainable future for humanity. Global and regional winners have been chosen in areas such as overall sustainability financing, excellence in bond issues, community support, resource management, transparency & reporting, infrastructure and emerging-markets sustainability funding. All winners were chosen by the editors of Global Finance, based on entries, which were required for consideration, as well as independent research. Criteria for evaluation included governance policies and goals as well as measurable achievements in environmental and social sustainability financing. This awards program focuses on activities from January 2023 to December 2023. “Climate change concerns, regulations and increasing investor awareness have ensured growing demand for sustainable investments,” said Global Finance founder and editorial director Joseph Giarraputo. “Innovations in clean technologies, green finance instruments, and data analytics are also making sustainable finance more attractive and accessible, creating new market opportunities for banks.” Global Finance’s awards and recognition programs are the trusted standard of excellence for the financial industry. They are backed by a 37-year history of editorial accuracy and integrity. Global Finance’s corporate and financial audience relies on these awards because they are credible, reliable and have stood the test of time.
The list of Global Finance’s Sustainable Finance Awards 2024 follows.
