Are you taking part in this year’s Veganuary? Have you thought about looking at your investments as well? Research from Make My Money Matter shows that the single biggest impact most people have on climate change is via their finances. The average UK pension has 21x more impact on an individual’s carbon footprint than other lifestyle or behavioural changes, such as reducing car journeys or even… going vegan.

We are delighted to introduce a new tool for our clients to regenerate the planet beyond sustainable investing alone. The ‘Global Returns Portfolio’ is the first selection of diverse, effective and scalable not-for-profit organisations tackling climate change. Regular philanthropic giving to the Portfolio helps enforce environmental law, combat deforestation, defend ocean ecosystems and more.

We are proud to have joined Tech Zero, a climate action group of over 300 companies, committed to fighting the climate crisis. Led by Tech Nation, the idea is for companies to join forces to accelerate progress to net zero. We join others such as Citymapper, the MoneySupermarket Group and Revolut in signing up to this initiative.

As a business, we want to help to revolutionise savings and help give power to people who care about making a difference – not just for themselves and their loved ones, but for the global community too. That’s why we’re taking part in this week’s Ethical Consumer Week.
