Ethics and Trust in Finance
for a Sustainable Future
The Global Prize Ethics and Trust in Finance promotes new ways of thinking about the big challenges facing the global economy and finance. As a worldwide program running since 2006, we work with inspiring minds from across the financial and academic ecosystems to conceive of new models and shape better practices that strengthen the foundations upon which we build our world.
In today’s global system, where millions unable to access the financial services need to flourish, a more transparent, more accessible and inclusive model is required and is possible. Meanwhile, growing imperatives are driving new approaches to design more sustainable systems of provision of financial services able to limit our impact on the planet.
To mark its 10th anniversary in a constantly evolving digital environment, the Global Prize innovates by opening up to a wider range of submission formats. The competition invites young professionals and academics under 35 to submit unpublished contributions on issues related to ethics and trust in finance, either in the form of essays (3’000-5’000 words) or in the form of videos (15-20 minutes). The brightest minds will be awarded the sum of USD 15’000 to be shared among the winners.
We believe that ethics and trust in finance has a pivotal role to play in affecting a positive change in the world. Each edition we look forward to exploring bright new proposals and suggestions from a diverse group of brilliant young people.
