Call for Green Recognition Award

At the occasion of the 4th edition of the Social Finance Vibe 2024: Leadership and Diversity, the fully virtual conference, to be organized by the Microfinance Centre (MFC) on 29-30 October 2024, we are happy to announce the call for proposals to recognize good practices in environmentally responsible, climate-smart, green and sustainable social finance in Europe.

The aim is to promote and incentivize the integration of environmental considerations into microfinance activities, contributing to the transition towards a more sustainable and green economy.

We would like to encourage all microfinance and social finance providers with a track record of implementing environmentally responsible and sustainable practices in their operations to share with us any initiatives you are currently undertaking in this area, like innovative financial and non-financial products and services that support clients in their green transformation, mitigation of climate risks, adaptation to climate change, etc.

We will recognize the efforts of organizations that are at the forefront of green and sustainable social finance during the Social Finance Vibe, giving them the opportunity to promote their achievements in “Talk with Leader” sessions during the Social Finance Vibe 2024. In addition, the selected candidates will receive virtual certificate and recognition badge which can be used by awarded organizations on their website and in promotion materials. MFC will promote recognized organizations through our website and social media channels.

MFC would be happy to provide an opportunity to applicants to present their endeavors and accomplishments at various events we organize throughout the year.

Last year we recognized the leader in sustainable agricultural innovation, Cooperative Bank of Karditsa from Greece, for their climate change risk management tool and Adie from France as leader in inclusive green transition, supporting their clients with the green transition financial and non-financial products. More information about both awards and awardees are available on MFC website via the following links CB of Karditsa_Green recognition award and ADIE_Green recognition award.

We await your message to feature your good practices at the Social Finance Vibe. Please contact Pavol Kapsdorfer, MFC Network and Partnership Manager at pavol@mfc.org.pl
