The Asian Banker Sustainable, Carbon Neutral and Green Finance (SCG) Awards and Certification Programme is designed to promote corporations and projects that have made great achievements to address climate challenge, mitigate climate risk and achieve sustainable development, and award those institutions that made that happen, which include not only the banks, but also venture capitalists, asset managers, trust and insurance companies and fintechs.

Aligned with international green principles or taxonomies by EU, ICMA and UN, SCG programme awards and certifies corporations or projects that conducted green related initiatives across below sectors.

We have taken on an audit-based approach in the evaluation process. The audit is conducted based on survey questionnaire, interviews, published commitments, documentation, and publicly demonstrated activities according to our audit process.

The best practice in the different categories of green finance are identified; corporations who committed to build a sustainable, and climate neutral world with solid tracking record are certified with an audit report and published on our website and publications. These are to engender the pursuit of a spirit of excellence in the commitment towards sustainability, climate neutrality and managing climate change.
