Finalists Announced for the 2021 Impact Investment Awards
The finalists in this year's Australian Impact Investment Awards have been announced!
The 2021 Australian Impact Investment Awards offers an opportunity for organisations and individuals to showcase and be recognised for their expertise, commitment and outstanding activity in the Australian impact investing ecosystem.
The Awards are designed around similar criteria and categories to the Global Steering Group’s (GSG) Awards and are proudly powered by Impact Investing Hub (developed and managed by the Social Impact Hub) in collaboration with the Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific.
This year’s awards were judged by a panel of experts comprised of Libby Cremen (Branch Manager, Community Cohesion Branch, Department of Social Services), Zarmeen Pavri, (Senior Advisor, Australia and New Zealand, Global Impact Investing Network) and Rosemary Addis (Executive Director, Impact Strategist). They were very impressed by the calibre of this year's nominations, especially in the Impact Asset Manager and Impact Enterprise categories. The quality and quantity of nominations received reflects the passion and dedication of those working to advance impact investing in Australia, as well as the growth of the ecosystem itself. Congratulations to all the selected finalists and those that received an honourable mention:
