Spreading the word
Our commitment
The Financial Times (FT) is trusted to provide an authoritative and accurate voice on environmental and sustainability issues to a combined print and online daily readership of 1.9 million people worldwide.
We aim to inform our readers and provide opportunities for debate and discussion around some of the most important issues facing our society.
Our actions
FT Energy Conferences
- FT Energy Technologies (4 May 2010, Brussels, Belgium) brought together leading technology experts to discuss advances in emerging energy technologies, and charter a possible pathway to their successful implementation.
- The China Energy and Environment Summit 2010 (3-4 November 2009, Beijing, China) looked at how to develop, finance and implement the technologies and other solutions that will transform China’s energy landscape.
- The FT WEC Energy Leaders Summit 2009 (13-14 October 2009, London, UK) followed on from the success of the 2008 summit. This two-day event focused on The road to Copenhagen: Energy and finance solutions for a post-2012 world.
FT CSR Conferences
In New York in March 2009, the FT held its first ever corporate social responsibility (CSR) conference, which focused solely on sustainable business and responsible investing.
This was followed in March 2010 with a second CSR conference, which looked at investing in a sustainable future.
FT Sustainable Banking Awards
In partnership with the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, we support the FT Sustainable Banking Awards.
They recognise banks and other financial institutions for leadership and innovation in integrating social, environmental and corporate governance considerations into their operations.
Winners of the fifth FT Sustainable Banking Awards in 2010 included:
- the UK’s Co-operative Financial Services (CFS) as Sustainable Bank of the Year
- Brazil’s Itau Unibanco for the overall Emerging Markets prize.
FT/BITC Responsible business supplement
In June 2010, we published the Responsible business supplement in the FT newspaper in partnership with Business in the Community (BITC).
It announced the BITC CR Index rankings and the Awards for Excellence Big Ticks, using both as a source of evidence and analysis to identify emerging responsible business issues.
Prix Pictet
The FT is the media partner for the Prix Pictet, the world’s photography award for environmental sustainability.
Kofi Annan, Honorary President of the Prix Pictet, gave the 2009 commission to American photographer Ed Kashi. He photographed the work of Azafady, a charity that helps the poorest communities in Madagascar to develop sustainable ways of living.
