Today marks the start of the third National Ethical Investment Week (NEIW). NEIW is a campaign to raise awareness of green and ethical options for your finances. I think it's an interesting campaign for a number of reasons....firstly, finance and 'green' choices poses an interesting disconnect. Many of us who try to live in a generally sustainable and ethical way don't make the logical connection to extend this to our finances. It's great to to buy fairtrade coffee and recycle and make various other green and ethical choices but what about what we do with our money? What is our money financing and have we actually stopped and asked that question about our bank accounts, pension funds and investments. Finances may not be the most exciting topic to discuss but it's a huge issue and NEIW tries to raise awareness of this....much like Fairtrade Fortnight.
Easy ways to support the Week:
- Visit the NEIW website to find out more
- Take the NEIW green and ethical money quiz to discover your green and ethical money profile and really get started with thinking about your financial decisions
- Attend an NEIW event taking place in the next week
Where's your money growing? It's certainly a question worth asking!
