What does ethical financial planning mean to you?

Ethical financial planning reflects the powerful combination of our company ethos and the service that we provide. As a business we’re built on shared values of honesty, integrity and teamwork. For our clients we provide personalised financial solutions which make a clear and positive contribution to society and the environment. I see this combination as being a great motivator and strength for colleagues and clients, who benefit from engaging with a genuinely ethical business. I have a long-standing interest in the natural environment and through my role as a Chartered Financial Planner I can bring this depth of knowledge to the day-to-day client conversations and formal advice I provide.

What's it like working at Investing Ethically?

As one of the business owners I am possibly a little biased here, but I am proud of the company we are building. We work very hard to develop a positive culture which encourages our colleagues to develop and through this we believe our clients will benefit from the knowledge, professionalism and care delivered by the team. Whilst there are many challenges in running a business and advising clients, every day is different and the job itself is personally rewarding. We can make a real difference to the lives of our clients and help them to make the most of the opportunities that life presents. Through our ethical discussions with clients we are able to harness the power of their money to bring real change to our world for the good of all.
