April 2019 – Ethical Investing in Focus

The fight against climate change has never been more critical and every Earth Day on 22nd of April reminds us that we all share in the responsibility to protect and preserve the planet. This year’s focus was the protection of threatened and endangered species. Wherever natural resources are exploited, one can observe a deteriorating natural environment. Aside from the moral implications of destroying the home of our fellow species, this will have real financial consequences: lower crop yields equal higher food prices; and a loss of protein source for much of Asia as fish stocks collapse. One of our charitable partnerships, The Rainforest Alliance, works to preserve at-risk rainforests by funding the local community to work sustainably in their local environment, We would encourage you to consider supporting their work.
