What does ethical financial planning mean to you?

It really matters to me that we are offering solutions that help make a meaningful difference to our planet. The word ‘ethical’ means different things to all of us, and we all have our own preferences and passions. I enjoy finding out what motivates clients, as well as the steps they are taking in their own lives to become greener, not only through investment decisions, but other habits that are having a positive impact to the world around us.

What's it like working at Investing Ethically?

Working for a small business allows me to really feel part of the team and I've seen the company steadily grow since joining. I enjoy meeting clients, old and new, and get satisfaction from reassuring people that talking about their finances is really not that scary. It is always more challenging when investment markets create unnecessary concern, though the nature of ethical investments always means we have positive stories to talk about.
