<![CDATA[Finance for the Future Awards 2012]]> Dr. Richard Mattison, Chief Executive, Trucost, will be attending this event.

The Finance for the Future Awards are founded by NatWest, Accounting for Sustainability, and ICAEW, and aim to look at sustainability from a finance perspective, in particular taking a long-term view of capital allocation, investment and risk management to drive a better and more sustainable return. There is a strong focus on embedding sustainability within an organisation as well as rewarding new thinking. Entrants for the awards must be able to demonstrate how they have allocated financial capital effectively to create long-term value, with a business case outlining why the investment was worthwhile and what corporate behaviours are driving the value creation.

These awards will focus not just on the outcomes but on how those outcomes are achieved and in particular on the role that the financing of the business and the finance function has to play in achieving these outcomes.

The awards will be open to all UK and international businesses with activities in the UK in the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.
