Thought Leaders Defined by Sustainable Finance Commitment

LONDON, February 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Over the past year The New Economy has observed a series of revolutions. Whether in terms of politics or technology, the modern world is constantly changing and improving. The business and financial landscapes are unfortunately often much slower to catch on, often taking a pioneer to lead the way. This spirit remains at the centre of The New Economy's Sustainable Finance Awards 2011.

Sustainable finance is an area in which simple choices by business leaders and dynamic investors can completely transform industries, significantly improving their impact. Engaging with the roots of a business and working out where relations with the environment and with workers can be improved has introduced changes that carry right across company structures, often bringing unexpected benefits.

The New Economy Sustainable Finance Awards celebrate companies making a significant contribution to improving their social and environmental impact and acting as a leading example to their industry in the process. Through a variety of strategies, our winners have addressed their business impact, making a significant positive contribution and to these new pioneers The New Economy offers its warmest congratulations.
