Bank Sarasin named Cross-Regional Sustainable Bank of the Year 2011
The Financial Times and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, have named Bank Sarasin the Cross-Regional Sustainable Bank of the Year, at the 2011 FT/IFC Sustainable Finance Awards."Having placed sustainability at the very heart of our corporate philosophy and given our twenty years of experience in sustainable investment, it is a particular honour to have our work recognised by such a prestigious award. The fact that institutions of the calibre of the Financial Times and the IFC continue to place such great importance on the development of sustainable financial services cannot be over-estimated. Sustainability is a worldwide issue and is now becoming an international trend - we are delighted that our international efforts have been acknowledged by our winning of the award in the cross-regional category," commented Joachim H. Straehle, CEO of Bank Sarasin
The FT/IFC Sustainable Finance Awards have been established as leaders in recognising the achievements of banks and other institutions focused on sustainable development. The 2011 awards attracted a record 187 entries from 161 institutions in 61 countries.
"We are greatly encouraged by the response to this year's awards, which is evidence of the growing commitment among institutions across the financial industry to make sustainability a core part of their business. The quality of this year's entries was very high and the judging panel had some difficult decisions to make," said Martin Dickson, Deputy Editor of the Financial Times and co-chair of the awards judging panel.
