Mindful Money Awards 2025
Celebrating Investment for the Transition
Thank you and see you there!
Following the success of the Mindful Money Conference and Awards over the past four years, we are excited to announce our event for 2025 - Celebrating Investment for the Transition: Climate Action and Nature Regeneration.
The finance sector stands at a pivotal crossroads where investment decisions today will shape both our climate future and the health of our natural world. The 2025 Mindful Money Conference invites investors, fund managers, impact companies, and leaders to explore how capital can simultaneously drive climate action and nature regeneration.
Building on four years of community-building and thought leadership, this year’s conference focuses on the practical pathways and innovative approaches needed to direct investment toward solutions that address our interlinked climate and biodiversity challenges. Participants will engage in meaningful dialogue about how to accelerate the transition to a regenerative economy where financial returns are aligned with planetary boundaries
Following the conference, the fifth annual Mindful Money Awards ceremony will take place, honouring funds and individuals leading the movement to establish responsible investing as the new standard and positioning impact investing at the progressive forefront.
