Ten individuals and firms were recognised at Jersey Finance’s Sustainable Finance Awards last week. 

Now in its third year, the awards showcase the “expertise of firms who are demonstrating innovation in Jersey’s sustainable finance ecosystem” and celebrate individuals who are “championing progress”. 

Jersey Finance said this year’s categories “reflected leadership and innovation” across Jersey’s core financial services sectors. 

The winners were selected by a panel of independent judges – including Andrew Mitchell, Founder and CEO at Equilibrium Futures; Amy Blackwell, Founder of Amy Blackwell Advisory; and Dame Susan Rice, Global Ethical Finance Initiative (GEFI) Chair of the Global Steering Group. 

The awards took place at Jersey Finance’s inaugural week-long Sustainable Finance Summit. 

A series of events, seminars and workshops explored the role of Jersey’s finance industry in achieving the UN’s sustainable development goals. 

Amy Bryant, Deputy CEO of Jersey Finance, said the organisation’s vision for Jersey is to be a “true leader in the sustainable finance space”. 

She explained: “To do that, we must have the right expertise and knowledge – and I think our awards have shown that we do in abundance, right across the diverse strands that make up our financial and professional services landscape. This is really encouraging for our future as an industry and as an island.” 

Ms Bryant added: “I’d like to offer my congratulations to all our winners for their thoroughly deserved recognition, and extend a big thank you also to our headline sponsors, HSBC, KPMG in the Crown Dependencies and PwC, as well as our independent panel of judges for their insights and guidance this year.”
