What is ethical investing?

Find out more about ethical investing, also known as sustainable investing or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing.

In recent years, investors have increasingly demanded that their money is invested in ways that reflect their values. There is a realisation that a large number of small investors can drive companies to take steps to improve the environment and make a positive impact on society. However, investors also want to see a positive return for their investment.

Ethical investing – or sustainable investing – aims to achieve both of these things.
