The Beginning

The Prize was set up to promote Robin's vision of a way to promote greater awareness of the need for ethics, integrity and trust in the finance sector. Since 2006 the Prize has become a global instrument for encouraging young professionals throughout the world to reflect on the benefits of a more ethical approach to banking and finance. The competition for the Prize has prompted a debate about  many different aspects of Ethics in Finance, ranging from the role of compliance offices, the challenges of managing cash ethically, the contribution of micro-finance to economic development, and the way rating systems work, to name but a few. Join the debate!
