Now in their third year, the awards recognise excellence in reporting on sustainability-linked topics across the UK media. 

In his opening comments at this year’s awards ceremony on 8 November, Aviva Investors CEO Mark Versey said the bar had been raised every year, with 2023 being no exception, while he reiterated the importance of these awards in highlighting thought-provoking work in this space. 

Commenting on Investment Week winning the Publication of the Year category, the judges said the title “has been at the forefront of investment journalism for over 25 years, leading the way in not only editorial standards, but also in the rapidly expanding world of events, awards and conferences”. 

“Its reputation as one of the leading publications covering sustainability issues has continually been bolstered by industry-leading events,” the judges added. 

“To produce such high-quality ESG content whilst maintaining high standards of reporting across the entire universe of investment products and sectors is no mean feat!”
