What are ethical investments?
01 July 2021
Ethical investing is one of a number of terms used to identify sustainable approaches to investing. Others include Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), Sustainable Investing and Impact Investing.
This type of investing aims to exclude profiting from activities that are considered harmful to society and the environment (e.g. weapons or gambling). Instead people, countries and pension schemes are now leaning towards investing in organisations, companies and projects that are committed to operating in a way that is sustainable for the future.
The Trustee is currently considering how best to further incorporate the principles of ESG within the Plan’s investment strategy. Hear all about it in the Trustee Podcast with Gill Manning, Trustee Director and Chair of the Trustee Investment Sub-Committee.
