Many charities/non-profits have a mandate to invest their funds ethically. Our expertise guides them through financial decisions.
We use the UN’s 17 ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ as our starting point. Not all are available for investment. Here are the key ones that one or more of our funds support or invest in:
End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts by regulating emissions and promoting developments in renewable energy
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
Some things we avoid entirely. Others, we avoid if they are more than a small percentage of a company’s revenues.
Our leadership and commitment to sustainability and ethical investing is not limited to investing. As a firm and individually, we’ve done and continue to do many things to help make the world a better place.
Here are a few ways Ethical Investing NZ has been recognised as leaders in ethical investing.
In a way, “geo-political” has become the word of the year. It means the interplay on a global level of politics, markets and countries. While such events can have profound impacts on the lives of individuals, communities and nations impacted, do they matter for long term asset returns?
Ethical Investing is strongly committed to being a “good corporate citizen” in many practical ways – including volunteering at social or environmental causes. Recently the team helped out at the Kaipatiki Project Ecohub, a North Shore-based environmental initiative.
The NZ ethical investing community’s premier event is the Responsible Investment Association of Australasia (RIAA) annual conference. This year’s in mid-September saw a big presence from the Ethical Investing team – as attendees but also as presenters.
Falling interest rates contain both good and bad news. They’re great if you’re a borrower, such as a business or a mortgage-holder – or the NZ government. However, if you’re someone reliant on term deposits for income, drops are not so good.
