What is 'good' investing?
Essentially, it means investing with the objective of "doing good", whilst aiming for a financial return. There is a range of options available, covering different values.
- Ethical investing - excluding companies based on their involvement in, for instance, tobacco, gambling or those that pollute the environment.
- Sustainable & responsible investing (SRI) - primarily focuses on measuring a company’s approach to managing sustainability factors.
- Impact investing - investing in companies, organisations and funds with the intention of those companies generating positive social and environmental impacts, through their products / services or business strategies, alongside seeking financial returns.

The 'Clean Slate' focuses on how we treat our employees in a world dealing with a pandemic, and the ‘Green Slate’ focuses on what we are doing to help tackle climate change.
