We are delighted to share that the TPI Global Climate Transition Centre at LSE, together with the investor initiative, Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI), and its data partner, London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), has been named
Changemaker of the Year at the
2026 Finance for the Future Awards.
This award recognises those contributing research, thought leadership and knowledge that inspire and enable accounting and financial professionals to embed sustainability into mainstream decision-making. We are proud that the work of this three-way collaboration speaks directly to that mission.
The judges noted:
"TPI exemplifies what change looks like when industry, academic rigour and real world application come together. The panel was impressed by TPI’s clear focus on behaviour change among investors and its emphasis on transition – recognising that changemaking is ultimately about outcomes, not just data. With methods that are open, credible and “not a black box”, TPI’s tripartite model brings the power of co-creation to life, bridging industry, finance and academia. In challenging headwinds, its global outreach, engagement with future leaders show what is possible when intellectual chemistry meets action."
At the TPI Centre, we produce independent academic research that gives the financial community a credible, rigorous basis for assessing corporate, banking and sovereign climate transition. Our assessments of these entities translate complex climate science into tools that finance professionals can act on.
But turning research into real-world change requires more than publication. That is where the collaboration with TPI and LSEG becomes transformative:
- TPI embeds our research directly into investor engagement, stewardship and voting, ensuring it shapes the decisions of asset owners and managers worldwide.
- LSEG provides the data infrastructure to scale that research from hundreds to thousands of companies, making it accessible across global financial markets.
Together, we have helped move climate transition analysis from a niche research exercise into a mainstream input for financial professionals. The tangible result: investors are better equipped to assess whether entities are genuinely aligning with net zero and to act accordingly.
We are grateful to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), the Accounting for Sustainability (A4S) and Deloitte for recognising this model, and to our partners at TPI and LSEG for making the research count where it matters most.
