Why clean money matters

Although of fundamental importance, both ethical and sustainable investment can be seen as ‘nice-to-have’ but non-essential. Several approaches can be taken to move beyond common assumptions that it only involves avoiding investment in companies carrying out unacceptable activities (sometimes called ‘sin stocks’). Pension trustees and other asset owners can benefit from awareness of different approaches that can be tailored to individual objectives. Charities, in particular, are likely to appreciate guidance on different areas and investment approaches.
