It is for action orientated women who are leading the climate revolution from within; for women who see simultaneously the incredible opportunities whilst understanding the deep urgency of the climate crises.

OUR VISION AND MISSION

We have three goals:

01
To intentionally gather and connect the world's leading business and climate women.
02
To power impactful business relationships and unlock climate solutions.
03
To work with companies and organisations - big and small. Those getting the work done.
Events

Trust is built in rooms, not virtual rooms.
We put humanity back in the room.

We host invitation only events at key climate moments such as COP, Davos and UNGA Climate Week, as well as community and partner led gatherings in cities around the world. These moments enable guests to learn from each other, explore deal flow and create connections, encouraging collaboration. We are fast creating a modern rolodex of the most interesting doers in climate; those surfacing realtime problems and positively changing the status quo.

Celebrating the women getting the work done

We are delighted to announce that nominations are now open for the 2026/27 edition of the Fin-Erth Awards.

The intention of the Awards is to spotlight the creative, innovative, and impactful contributions of women who often operate behind the scenes, and yet whose contribution towards unlocking solutions can often be overlooked.

2. Getting to a shortlist - from the nominations we receive, we will work behind the scenes to narrow down and curate the shortlist alongside our trusted partners, year 1 and year 2 awardees and sector experts.

“The Fin-Erth MSCI COP28 dinner was brilliant.  This was a group of women who were really doing things, not just talking & observing, but genuinely making things happen. Beyond being inspired by the level of energy and competence, there were at least 10 follow up opportunities from women I sat with including potential investors & corporate partners.”
