The Farsight Award

The Farsight Award rewards the best individual piece of analysis done by an investment research institution that integrates traditional financial analysis with longer-term environmental, social & governance issues. The winner receives a trophy, a lecture opportunity at Gresham College and recognition on the London Accord.

First created by Z/Yen in 2006, with support from Gresham College, Universities Superannuation Scheme and the London Accord, this award scheme ran independently until 2008. Since 2009, the Farsight Award is an award category of the Sustainable City Awards organised by the City of London Corporation. The Sustainable City Awards recognise and reward UK organisations, from multinational businesses to small charities, and promote outstanding achievements and innovation across all aspects of sustainability.

Entries for the Farsight Award can be submitted between September and November each year . The 2013/14 edition will open in Autumn 2013. All the reports released on the London Accord website the year before are automatically considered for the Farsight Award. The judging panel convenes between December and January to decide on the shortlisted, winner and highly commended reports based on the criteria of originality, readability & clarity, sophistication & depth as well as financial usefulness.
