PRESS RELEASE: Global Finance Announces the Sustainable Finance Awards Regional Winners for 2025

Global Finance has announced the winners of its fifth annual Sustainable Finance Awards, honoring achievements in 2025. Winners across multiple regional categories are presented here. Honorees have also been chosen in global categories and in 53 countries, territories and districts. These awards are listed in separate press releases available on GFMag.com. 

A full report on Global Finance’s Sustainable Finance Awards 2025 will be published in the March print and digital editions as well as online at GFMag.com. Winners will be honored at Global Finance’s Investment Bank and Sustainable Finance Awards Ceremony on May 13 at London’s iconic Searcy’s at the Gherkin.

This awards program recognizes global, regional and local leadership in Sustainable Finance—funding for initiatives designed to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change and help build a more sustainable future for humanity.

Winners have been chosen in areas such as overall sustainability financing, excellence in bond issues, community support, resource management, transparency and reporting, infrastructure and emerging-markets sustainability funding.

“Sustainable finance continues to demonstrate remarkable growth. However, challenges like greenwashing, inconsistent regulatory standards, and limited data transparency remain significant barriers to fully embedding sustainability into mainstream financial systems,” said Joseph Giarraputo, founder and editorial director of Global Finance. “Global Finance’s Sustainable Finance Awards recognize financial institutions that excel in supporting a comprehensive range of initiatives essential for a sustainable future while demonstrating creativity in addressing long-term challenges.”

Regional winners were chosen by the editors of Global Finance, based on entries, which were required for consideration, as well as independent research. Criteria for evaluation included governance policies and goals as well as measurable achievements in environmental and social sustainability financing. This awards program focuses on activities from January 2024 to December 2024.
