investmentweek.co.uk:

Now in their 17th year, these awards are intended to recognise fund providers, research & ratings teams, wealth managers, fund selectors, service providers, consultancies and individuals who have a key part to play in the evolution of sustainable investing. 

Groups and individuals were only considered if they submitted an entry for these awards. The entries were judged by a panel of sustainable investment experts from across the industry who helped decide the shortlists and selected the final winners. You can meet the panel here.

For the fund categories, the judges considered factors including: strength of the sustainable team; meeting the fund's sustainable objectives; excellence in sustainable investing within the investment process; performance record; strong engagement record; effective client communication; wider fund impact; and key developments on the strategy in the past year.

For the other categories, entrants had to provide examples of innovation, original thinking, inspiring leadership or wider industry impact in this area, especially over the past year.

This year we were pleased to announce a number of new categories including Best Sustainable Investment Consultancy, Best Sustainable Investment Engagement Initiative and the Excellence in ESG Integration in Investment Management category.

We also had new categories for Newcomer Funds, open to sustainable funds with between a one-year and three-year track record as at 31 January 2023, as well as categories for new launches over the past year.  

Investment Week also presented a number of company awards on the night. This year'sSustainable Investment Fund Management Group of the Year (AUM under £50bn) was awarded to CCLA Investment Management. The judges praised
