The Financial Times and IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, announced the winners of the 2009 FT Sustainable Banking Awards, with Triodos Bank of the Netherlands named as Sustainable Bank of the Year and Itau Unibanco of Brazil taking the overall Emerging Markets prize.
Now in their fourth year, the awards recognise banks and other financial institutions that have shown leadership and innovation in integrating social, environmental and corporate governance considerations into their operations.
The Awards have grown in popularity and this year the nominees were selected from among 165 entries from 117 institutions across 42 countries. Three categories - Achievement in Basic Needs Financing, Banking at the Bottom of the Pyramid, and Sustainable Investor of the Year - were open to non-banking financial institutions as well as banks.
