    Buying local produce, shopping without plastic, and purchasing ethically made clothing are excellent decisions, but investing your money in ethical funds can have a much bigger impact on people and the planet. Mindful Money enables exactly that.

    Each person has their own priorities and that’s where I think the Mindful Money website’s pretty cool

    Mindful Money was the perfect tool for me to be able to make the switch to an ethical KiwiSaver fund with confidence. I fully recommend visiting the site. I am so happy that my investment now aligns with my values.

    The day after you launched the site I had a look and realised there was a gold mining company I had unknowingly invested in which my friends in Aussie had campaigned against. The company had destroyed some of the most ancient Aboriginal culture sites and wrecked part of a Ramsar listed wetland. This is the only platform I know of where you can find out what is otherwise really difficult info to access. Thanks again!

    I thought I was already invested in an ethical KiwiSaver. However, Mindful Money showed me that there is a difference between what I call "responsible" investing and what the big banks do. Plus it made taking action on this information really easy.
