The winners of Environmental Finance's annual Sustainable Investment Awards 2026 have been announced.
This year's awards honour investors and other players in the market who have been leaders in the field of sustainable finance.
This year sees expanded regional categories for several of the awards, in line with the proliferation of localised solutions, regulatory frameworks and initiatives – as well as increasing numbers of submissions for the Sustainable Investment Awards year-on-year.
The winners were selected across more than 60 categories by a panel of independent judges made up of industry experts.
Highlights include:
- Personality of the year goes to Frédéric Samama of S&P Global, who has spent his career working at the intersection of academia, innovation and public policy as he seeks to turn climate finance from an academic concept into an investable reality.
- Picking up four prizes this year was LSEG (the London Stock Exchange Group), its London Stock Exchange and FTSE Russell divisions.
- AllianceBernstein has won three awards across two thought leadership paper/research on sustainable investing categories and one for its multi-asset fund.
- Two new categories for this year include: TNFD report of the year and ISSB report of the year.
