Has anyone got any suggestions for organisations that deal with Green & Ethical Investments?

There has been a lot of talk about investing in green technology as a way out of the effects of the Covid19 pandemic.

I have found the following:
Abundance Investment
Energy4All
Ethex
Ripple Energy

All investments have risks compared to savings accounts, but at least some of these promote Green & Ethical investments.

Triodos is an ethical bank and do some investments.

Also check ethical consumer magazine or website. These are some of the ones they have mentioned before. I've just started investing in the first one so my investments are more green and ethical.

FP WHEB Sustainability Fund
Castlefield B.E.S.T. Income Fund
Royal London Sustainable World Trust
AXA Ethical Distribution Fund

I invest with Tickr. They have 3 different ethical portfolios to choose from - Climate Change, Equality, Disruptive Technology. Or you can choose a combo portfolio.

If you wanted to use my referral code - michaels8361- then we both get £5 referral credit and Tickr plant 2 trees.

All I will say is you would need to invest at least £500 in my opinion, because they have a £1 a month fee. My investment is up 3.75% in 4 months so it's just a case of making sure you are happy with the return after your account fee has been taken into account.

Refreshing to see this topic exist! I am looking to invest more in ESG funds, and looking for ISA as I want my money to work hard for me, for once!

I'll look into those companies, as they seem to offer a relevant product and being a bit more on the FinTechy side.

Most of the options displayed may fall into the greenwashing category, as some featured companies are not truly green (Google being an obvious example).

What is the minimum % of truly sustainable investments in a fund or portfolio you would accept to consider your choice a "green" one?

@argayu you make a good point here, difficult re % but I would say above 50%. I'm having difficulty finding a fund that offers that to be fair. Can anyone point me in a green direction of funds?

I had a look but cannot get a hold of the companies they invest in, I want to find out how clean is it really. What sort of returns have you got so far?

I have made 5% since Jan 2019.

The top 10 companies that are in this fund include Bohoo Group, Kainos Grou, Bellway. Smith(DS) plc etc

Thanks, these companies are cleaner than others. 5% not bad but maybe I am being greedy but I am looking for higher returns. I'm still on the lookout for other players as well but difficult to find. Do you use other platforms for ESG investing?

Check out this article, such an interesting read - https://karmaimpact.com/esg-investment-assets-surge-to-1-trillion-record-despite-covid-19-pandemic/

Greencoat do some investment trusts for green energy. Impax is also an option.
