Recognising the best in sustainable investing
Sustainable Investment Awards 2026
Thursday 24th September 2026 - Sheraton, London
Building on the proud 20-year history of these awards, Investment Week is delighted to launch the Sustainable Investment Awards 2026.
These awards are intended to honour fund providers, research & ratings teams, service providers and individuals who have a key part to play in the evolution of sustainable investing.
At a time of regulatory upheaval and greater scrutiny than ever before on sustainable investing, these awards have an important part to play in identifying leaders and best practice in this rapidly-evolving area.
Entries will be judged by a panel of sustainable investing experts drawn from across the industry. Entrants for the fund categories will have to demonstrate excellence in sustainable investing and key developments over the past year.
Meanwhile, entrants for the industry categories will have to provide examples of innovation, original thinking, inspiring leadership and wider sector impact.
We will celebrate the winners of the Sustainable Investment Awards at a special ceremony at the Sheraton on 24th September 2026.
Good luck for the awards and we look forward to seeing you there!
ENTRY DEADLINE: 4TH MAY
Why enter the Sustainable Investment Awards?
Independent recognition of leadership
Entering the awards gives firms the opportunity to be recognised by an expert, independent judging panel. In a space where credibility is everything, third-party validation helps distinguish genuine leaders from those making unsubstantiated ESG claims.
Stand out in a highly scrutinised market
With increasing regulatory pressure and scrutiny on sustainable investing, these awards provide a platform to demonstrate authenticity, transparency, and measurable impact.
Showcase innovation and differentiation
The awards reward innovation, original thinking, and evolution in sustainable strategies. This is a chance to highlight what makes your firm different - whether that's proprietary research, new investment frameworks, or impactful engagement strategies.
Strengthen your reputation
Recognition at a well-established, 20 year awards programme enhances your credibility with clients and the wider industry. It positions your organisation as a trusted player in the industry.
Attract and retain clients
Awards recognition can be a powerful tool in business development. It provides credible proof points for client pitches, helping to win new business and reassure existing clients that they are being well looked after by the best.
Motivate internal teams
Entering (and especially being shortlisted or winning) is a strong way to recognise the efforts of investment, ESG, and research teams. It boosts morale and reinforces a culture of excellence and purpose driven work.
Benchmark against industry peers
The entry process itself encourages firms to reflect on their strategy, performance, and progress. It's a valuable opportunity to benchmark your work against leading competitors and identify areas for improvement.
Gain visibility across the industry
Finalist and winners benefit from extensive industry exposure, including coverage around the awards on Investment Week and at the ceremony in London. This visibility can elevate both individual professionals and the wider organisation.
