The first ACT Diversity & Sustainability Awards will take place on 16 October at The View, London, UK.
Diversity and sustainability are at the heart of what we do at the ACT. Our work in these areas includes the annual ESG conference, our Guiding Principles for Diversity and Inclusion, and a collaboration with the Bank of England on their ‘meeting varied people scheme’. We are also a founding signatory to the Sustainable Finance Education Charter. We are delighted to launch these awards as part of our mission to support the treasury community in their work on diversity and sustainability. Learn more.
Submit your nominations by 7 June to recognise the outstanding organisations and individuals that have championed positive change in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) and sustainability within the treasury profession. The awards are free to enter and are given based on initiatives since the start of 2023.
Purchase your table and secure your place to attend the awards presentation at a celebratory dinner, where the treasury community will come together to honour our award winners, their remarkable impact, and their progress across DEI and sustainable finance initiatives.
The awards encourage finance functions to drive DEI and sustainable finance initiatives across their organisations and seek out creative and innovative solutions that make a difference, whatever the size of the business.
The categories are structured to identify a diversity winner and a sustainability winner from each of the following organisation types, as well as two individual winners which may come from any organisation type.
We have identified a range of criteria against which submissions will be judged in each category. Categories and criteria for these awards have been developed in collaboration with our policy and technical team, with contributions from our advisory panels which include FTSE members and a range of representatives from banking and financial services.
