Green Money

In 2007 the amount

of money invested ethically reached almost £9 billion and over three quarters

of a million ethical accounts have been opened. But exactly what counts as investing

ethically? And how do you find out what the ethical options are?

The combination of environmental factors such

as climate change and an increasing interest from consumers in the ethics

behind a company''s profits means socially responsible investment is a massive

growth area. The problem is that there is no straightforward definition of

''ethical''. Many consumers are unsure

about how to turn their ideas into reality.



Green Money explains the ideas

behind ethical investment, points out sources of information and advice and will help

the reader develop a financial plan that''s sustainable both for them personally and

for the planet.



This book will give anyone who is

contemplating investing ethically a step-by-step guide to the choices that face

them and the decisions they have to make.

It addresses issues such as:
