This Saturday, it’s Earth Overshoot day, so at Path Financial we’re exploring our ecological footprint, calculating our own personal overshoot day1, sharing ideas on how to reduce our consumption, and doing what gets us out of bed every day: talking to people about moving their money to invest sustainably.
We are thrilled to announce that Path Financial has been shortlisted in the BusinessGreen Leaders Awards’ ‘ESG Investor of the Year’ category. These prestigious awards seek to recognise and celebrate the top blue chips, innovative start-ups and inspiring sustainability leaders for their work in tackling the global, environmental crisis.
