Entry + Judging Process

The Finance Awards will follow the broad process of the main Global Good Awards, whose high standards have earned it respect and credibility throughout the sustainability world. These include:

Expert Advisory Panel, composed of leading lights in finance and sustainability, to ensure GGFA stays on point and continues to be current and relevant.

A qualified and experienced judging panel: A qualified and experienced Judging Panel will deliver expert scrutiny and assessment throughout the awards process: all judges will be selected for their experience across both sustainability and finance, and will all have substantial experience in making careful assessments.

Confidentiality: All judges will sign a legally binding NDA so entrants can provide essential details in confidence.

Awarding for real impact, not promises: the emphasis on scoring will be on real impact, rather than aims, targets, roadmaps or other wishful thinking: judges will be briefed to cut through the greenwash!

A thorough, four-stage judging process:

o main online judging round

o online investigative research of the top scoring entries

o all finalists interviewed by judges as part of the final judging process.

o final judging day, with an in-person gathering of judges at a central London location to decide on the ultimate winners.

An awards ceremony where we practice what we preach: no generic ‘awards do’ in a bland hotel with black ties, stuffy ambience, and tedious speeches; instead, a lively and engaging ceremony in a leading sustainable venue, with a delicious, fully plant-based menu, and a gathering of
like-minded guests…

No hidden extras: entrants will be encouraged to use our logo, ceremony photos and video to shout about their accolades with no restriction on branding use – all free of charge.
