What are the PRI Awards?

The 2024 PRI awards recognise and reward asset managers, asset owners and service providers who have developed leading responsible investment strategies and stewardship practices. In 2024 we introduced three new categories which recognise leading responses to the challenges and opportunities faced by PRI signatories in relation to climate, human rights and nature.

The five main categories are:

We have provided an overview of each award and details of the categories and their criteria. These criteria will guide signatories on which category might be appropriate and areas to focus on in their submission.

In 2024, there are also two special awards* recognising submissions from signatories who are based in emerging markets or is focused on private markets.

Emerging markets - open to PRI signatories who are either based in, or have developed innovative ways to allocate capital to, emerging markets.
Private market s - open to PRI signatories who self-identify and can demonstrate a private market focus within their submission

*Please note it is not possible to actively enter these recognition awards, they are selected from submissions to the five main awards.

Submissions suitable for the emerging market award will be selected from submissions to the main awards from PRI signatories who have HQ in emerging markets or whose submission demonstrates investment allocation or stewardship programmes focused on achieving positive outcomes in an emerging market. Those suitable for the Private markets award whose submissions are focused on activities relating primarily to private markets. We will welcome submissions from these categories of signatories. Submissions to these categories will be self-selected and eligibility reviewed by PRI.

Shortlisted submissions will be announced prior to PRI in Person with the winners being announced during PRI in Person in Toronto (October 2024). Each category will have a single winner, selected from the shortlisted submissions. The award will include a trophy.

How are they judged?

PRI will screen the entries against general criteria (see Terms and Conditions). Entries which meet these criteria will then be scored by a panel of independent judges against selected criteria.

The five highest scoring submissions from each category will be short listed with the winner of each category receiving the highest score. In the event of a tie in scoring for any award category, the award will be shared, and there will be joint winners.

For the Emerging Markets and Private Markets award, the highest scoring submission in each category will receive these special awards.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the PRI Awards, organisations had to be a PRI signatory, although we welcomed nominations of collaborative projects where at least 50% of participants were PRI signatories, and where the person submitting the entry represented a signatory organisation.
