The Growth Investor Awards are proud to announce a new partnership with ESG data and advisory specialists Addidat for the 2025 programme. As part of this collaboration, Addidat will support the judging process by providing independent ESG profiles for investee companies in two key award categories—enhancing the robustness and transparency of the evaluation criteria.
Now in their 11th year, the Growth Investor Awards celebrate the leading investment managers, financial advisers, and service providers that support the UK’s high-potential SMEs. In response to the increasing importance of environmental, social, and governance performance in investment decisions, this partnership marks a significant step forward in incorporating ESG insight into the Awards’ assessment framework.
Guy Tolhurst, Managing Director at the Growth Investor Awards, commented: “As ESG continues to be a top priority across the investment landscape, we’re thrilled to welcome Addidat as our ESG Data Partner. Their expertise will strengthen the judging process by offering valuable independent insight into the ESG performance of shortlisted investor companies.”
Addidat will produce ESG profiles for the top five investee companies in two award categories, using publicly available data to assess governance, environmental management, and social impact. These profiles will provide judges with a clearer view of how ESG considerations are being embedded into the investment process of the companies being recognised.
“We’re delighted to be partnering with the Growth Investor Awards to bring greater ESG clarity and transparency to this prestigious programme. Our mission is to make ESG data more meaningful and accessible, and this partnership is an exciting opportunity to support that goal while celebrating excellence in the growth investment community.”
Nina Spencer, CEO, Adiddat
