Describe the contribution of the candidate (a significant ethical "standard practice" or an ethical action
that can be credited to the candidate and that can serve as a model for actors in the financial markets)
The jury emphasis that submissions (in English) including the candidate details need to be of high quality
and complete and need to clearly show what the ethical practice, product, process or service is, and why it
is considered ethical in the view of the submitting entity. Also the potential of why this ethical practice,
product, process or service deserves a wider adoption need to be described in detail. Any submissions not
complying with this requirement may be rejected. In exceptional cases, the jury may ask for the submission
to be complemented with more information. The company concerned would have submitted themselves for the Award,
or would at least be in written agreement with the submission.
The jury acknowledges the existence of greenwashing risk: the risk that a participating entity may abuse their
participation in the Award for unethical purposes including misrepresentation. The University and the jury retain
the right to issue a private and/or public statement to that extent and to reclaim any issued Award or consider
any other sanction.
