Guidance on Investing Ethically
26th July 2023
Almost all KiwiSaver and investment fund providers claim to be ethical or responsible or sustainable or ‘ESG’. This seminar unpacks what these terms mean and how you can find out the real impact of your investment. It covers the different approaches to ethical investment and whether, as is often claimed, they are good for financial returns as well as for the people and the planet. Amidst all of the claims and the greenwash, the seminar helps to identify the ethical funds with real credibility.
