Ultima Markets Unveils First Sustainability Academy in the CFD Industry
SINGAPORE, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- has launched the first sustainability academy in the CFD industry, setting a key milestone within the financial services sector. Developed by the Ultima Impact Foundation, the educational initiative reflects the broker's belief that real progress begins with providing access to knowledge, from the experts to everyone. The sustainability academy features a curated series of short video lessons led by professors from globally respected universities, and top scientists working in some of the most influential organisations in the climate space. Drawing from their years of work in climate risk, natural capital, nature-based solutions and sustainable finance, every lesson distills complex ideas into simple, actionable messages. While much of this content is typically only available in graduate classes, Ultima Impact has chosen to make this content freely available to all, through a dedicated learning section on its website. The foundation hopes this will allow anyone to have the opportunity to better understand these global challenges. "Sustainability can feel complex and difficult to grasp, especially for those who are just starting to learn about it. Our goal with the academy is to demystify these topics and make them more approachable and relatable to everyone," said Jean Philippe, Director of the Ultima Impact Foundation. "These highly respected scientists and professors carry with them a huge wealth of knowledge, but too often their ideas remain within university walls. We wanted to bring their ideas out into the open, to connect academia with the public in a meaningful manner, thereby inspiring more people to engage, learn and take part in the global sustainability conversation." This initiative was created as part of Ultima Markets' broader sustainability agenda. As the first CFD broker to join the United Nations Global Compact, the company aligns its operations with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals, using education and accessibility as tools to advance meaningful global progress. By ensuring the academy is open to everyone everywhere, we hope to create greater awareness and build a future for all," he concludes.

Ultima Markets Plants First Roots for Ultima Impact Foundation Through Regional Reforestation Efforts
SINGAPORE, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ultima Markets has unveiled the Ultima Impact Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation established to lead the company's long-term commitment to sustainability and social impact. Ultima Impact is rooted in the belief that business can be a force for good—bridging purpose and impact to create measurable, lasting change for individuals, communities, and the planet. As a first step, Ultima Impact recently concluded a tree and mangrove replanting initiative in Southeast Asia. In partnership with local communities and environmental groups, the foundation supported restoration efforts across parts of Malaysia and Thailand. The initiative brought together over 60 volunteers from across the region. While modest in scale, this marks the beginning of a longer-term focus on ecological restoration, biodiversity, and climate resilience. Jean Philippe, Director of Ultima Impact Foundation and Board Advisor for Sustainability at Ultima Markets, shared: "At Ultima Impact, we believe sustainability is more than just an idea—it is a responsibility. Deforestation continues to threaten ecosystems and displace communities, but through efforts like this, we are taking action to restore what has been lost." The launch comes at a time when environmental restoration has never been more important. Since 1996, the world has lost over 5,200 square kilometres of mangroves—about 83 football fields every day. Though the pace of loss has slowed, the impact continues to threaten coastlines and biodiversity. Tree cover is also shrinking. Over the past 2 decades, the world gained forests equal in size to Peru, but lost even more—an area over four times the size of the UK. It is a sobering reminder that helping nature heal must be part of any long-term plan. Ultima Impact will continue to grow its programmes in the months ahead, with corporate social responsibility initiatives planned in education, innovation, and community development. The foundation remains committed to working hand-in-hand with partners on the ground, guided by strong governance and driven by a vision for sustainable, inclusive impact. Jean Philippe added, "We are grateful to all the volunteers, organisers, and partners who have made this effort possible. Your dedication shows that when we work together, meaningful change is possible." For more information, please visit Ultima Impact Foundation.
