A presentation was also delivered by David Craig, co-chair of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures.
I’d like to thank our judges, panelists and guest speakers this year, including Kate Raworth and David Craig, and congratulate all our winners, who thoroughly deserve their success
Jersey Finance deputy chief executive Amy Bryant
Jersey Finance deputy chief executive Amy Bryant said: “We were keen to evolve our Sustainable Finance Awards this year, to make it a special event that could both recognise those individuals and firms that are shaping Jersey’s proposition as a centre for sustainable finance, and also provide a platform for further collaboration and innovation so that we can continue to shift the dial as a jurisdiction.”
Ms Bryant continued: “The stories behind the submissions for the Simon Boas Success Story Award highlighted at the event were particularly powerful, serving as a reminder of the responsibility we have to make a difference.
“I’d like to thank our judges, panelists and guest speakers this year, including Kate Raworth and David Craig, and congratulate all our winners, who thoroughly deserve their success and will undoubtedly continue to help champion the importance of sustainable finance and its place in the economic ecosystem.”
