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 this "Meet the Manager" webinar, John Berry from Pathfinder shares their journey from the beginning, why they are so passionate about doing good for your pocket as well as for people and our planet. Pathfinder is a multi-award winning fund manager that have built a strong reputation for both their positive actions and their strong performance.
Our director, Mark Holtom, joined Bryony Greenhalgh from Pathfinder in the recent Sustainable Business Network ‘Hot Take’ discussion to talk about some of the ways employers can be supporting their employees in this current economic climate. Here is the recording of the discussion.
We were delighted to be named joint winners of the Best Ethical Financial Adviser award at the recent Mindful Money awards. This is the second year we’ve been a winner, as we won the 2022 award. While the ethical investment area continues to grow, there is still a lot of variation in what sound ethical investment means in practice. There remains, too, public concern over greenwashing and exaggerated claims around ethical investment.
