Investment advising
Service with Minor Environmental Footprint
United Kingdom
Most people are not aware that their pension is contributing to climate change and numerous other global problems. Or that a straightforward solution is available. Greenspace have two missions; to grow your pension or investment, and to make sure that the same money is helping the transition to a sustainable economy. They use positive impact, sustainability and ESG (environmental, social and governance) screening to provide ongoing suitability advice to UK investors. There is no minimum or maximum threshold for investment, and you will be kept up to date with the positive impact your money is having through carbon footprint reports, and regular updates on how your money aligns with the UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). Investment themes include clean energy, water management, sustainable transport, health, well-being, resource efficiency, environmental services, and education. Sectors such as fossil fuel, weapons, gambling, tobacco and alcohol are removed from your pension or investment. Directly authorised by the FCA, Greenspace provide financial planning expertise to individuals and businesses. They plant a tree for you in the Scottish Highlands when you become a client, and then again each year after conducting an annual review.
