From 2023 to 2025, the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Neuchâtel awarded annually a distinction entitled Ethics in Finance Award to a financial market participant situated in Switzerland or Liechtenstein to honour a specific ethical behaviour in finance.

The award recognised a product, a service, a (management) process or a practice that can be recognised as an example of good ethical behaviour by other financial market players. It had a purely idealistic and no monetary value.
