GlobalCapital has published the nominations for its Sustainable and Responsible Capital Markets Awards. The winners will be announced on September 17, at our Awards Ceremony in Amsterdam.

As in previous years, the Awards are not decided by GlobalCapital staff, but by a poll of market participants. Investors, issuers, investment banks and other players have chosen the following organisations and people as outstanding during the year 2018-19, for their contributions to the green, social and sustainability finance markets.

The Awards ceremony where the winners will be revealed will take place at the close of GlobalCapital's Sustainable and Responsible Capital Markets conference, on September 17 in Amsterdam.
