The winners of Environmental Finance's 2022 Impact Awards have been announced.
The annual awards seek to recognise and reward the work of impact investors, highlight best practice and thought leadership across all asset classes and all geographies.
The winners were selected by an independent panel of impact investment experts, based on information relating to the period between 1 April 2021 and 30 September 2022.
Among the notable winners were:
- Maria de Perlinghi, partner and chief impact and communications officer at Norselab, who was awarded 'Personality of the year';
- Vinte, which scooped two awards for 'Impact project/investment of the year – real estate' and 'Impact project/investment of the year – water';
- ARISE Integrated Industrial Platforms, which won both 'Impact initiative of the year, Africa' and 'Impact project/investment of the year, infrastructure';
- Bérénice Lasfargues, sustainability integration lead at BNP Paribas Asset Management, who has been recognised as 'Young professional of the year/rising star'.
"Congratulations to every one of the winners in this year's Impact Awards," said Annabelle Palmer, content strategist at Environmental Finance.
"I also commend the many high-quality candidates who did not win this time around, but who I hope will return next year with even more evidence of the positive impact of their investments.
"I would like to thank the judges who volunteered their time to help assess the hundreds of entries and select their favourites.
"I look forward to witnessing what the next 12 months has in store for all the entrants to our awards, as the exciting growth of impact investing accelerates."
