The nominations for GlobalCapital's Sustainable and Responsible Capital Markets Awards 2018 have been revealed, as a result of our worldwide market poll, conducted in July.

These are the leading Awards for the booming markets in green, social and sustainability bonds and loans. They are decided by market opinion, sounded in an online poll, and hence represent the market's view of what have been the outstanding deals, initiatives and participants.

The winners will be revealed at our Awards ceremony in Amsterdam on September 4, at the end of our Sustainable and Responsible Capital Markets Forum. The conference offers the cutting edge in thinking on green and social bonds, with top issuers and investors speaking including the EIB, World Bank, KfW, Amundi and Mirova - and the heads of debt management of the Kingdom of Belgium and Republic of Indonesia.

The conference also explores wider sustainable finance issues. This year there are special focuses on the Sustainable Development Goals and EU Action Plan, with a keynote speech from Frank Elderson, executive director at the Dutch central bank and chair of the Central Banks' and Supervisors' Network on Greening the Financial System.

Issuers and investors can attend free to hear and join in these discussions, and find out the winners of the Awards from among the following nominees:
