The Awards ceremony will take place on the 13th June 2024 in the city of London. The Awards celebrate companies and participants in the sub-£350m market cap quoted company sector on January 1st 2023 or on first day of listing across various categories.
Since it started in mid-2012, the Small Cap Club has successfully enabled leaders and participants in the small-cap sector to meet regularly, based on the premise that meeting people builds trust and creates new areas of thinking and opportunity, and the regular networking events have gone from strength to strength.
This year the Small Cap Awards has partnered with Addidat, a leading provider of ESG advisory services for the London Stock Exchange AIM market.
Addidat enables ESG strategy setting through data-driven insights. Commenting on her company's sponsorship of the ESG Award, Nina Spencer, Founder & CEO said:
"Addidat is truly delighted to be sponsoring the 2024 Small Cap ESG award. Addidat is an ESG advisory and benchmarking consultancy which enables ESG strategy setting through the data-driven insights extracted from our proprietary ESG database containing +100k data points across +85 ESG metrics which covers the whole of the LSE AIM market.
The current ESG environment is complex and it can be difficult for small cap companies to know where to focus and invest in order to successfully address the ESG priorities of investors, clients, employees and regulators. We believe that having a right-sized ESG strategy in place will be key to ensuring future growth and investment in small cap companies. A comprehensive and accurate view of the ESG capabilities of market counterparts, peers and competitors is a critical input for business leaders as they set and evaluate their own ESG strategies, and commit the right amount of targeted ESG investment necessary to succeed in this critical competitive frontier. Our aim is to support small cap companies in setting ESG strategies which also add bottom line value to their businesses".
Addidat will join fellow Small Cap sponsors Hill Dickinson LLP, a leading international commercial law firm and headline sponsors, haysmacintyre, an award winning firm of chartered accountants and tax advisors. Further, valuable support is provided by Aquis, one of only two regulated equity exchanges in the UK, Guild Financial Advisors, an independent corporate finance advisory business, Share Registrars, a CREST enabled registrar and The Investor Relations Society, the UK's professional body for investor relations practitioners. The awards are organised by Master Investor, which specialises in connecting companies and investors.
The shortlist will be selected by a judging panel comprised of leaders in the Small Cap sector and is Chaired by Gervais Williams, Head of Equities at Premier Miton Investors.
