ESG Leaders Awards 2013

TBLI CONFERENCE™, the global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and impact investor forum for asset owners and managers, has announced the nominees for the ESG Leaders Awards 2013. Winners will be presented during the awards ceremony at TBLI CONFERENCE EUROPE in Zurich on 14-15 November.

The Zurich Conference marks TBLI’s 24th global event, and the seventh Annual ESG Leaders Awards. The Awards profile leaders in the financial industry, and recognize their achievements in ESG and Impact Investing.

"It is a great honor to be recognized by such an established impact investment forum as TBLI," says Andrea Christie Pizziconi, Founder of The Christie Company (Africa Integras). "Even being shortlisted for the Most Innovative Product Award gets the word out that Africa’s health and education sectors represent a largely untapped investment market and by treating such crises as opportunities these critical life and death issues can benefit from scalable solutions made possible through private sector investment."

Based on nominations from individuals and companies followed by a short-list of final nominees per category, the winners have been chosen by an impartial, expert jury. TBLI congratulates all the nominees for 2013, which are:

#1 Best Investor In ESG (Institutional Investor Focus) - Sponsored by Vontobel Asset Management
