If you’re reading this, you’re probably already aware that the system we live in is no longer on a sustainable path. The climate is warming, we are pushing the ecosystems which support us beyond their limits, and inequality continues to grow. This is driven in large part by where money flows and what it funds. It can feel overwhelming; the issues are vast, and it’s easy to believe that individual choices can’t make a meaningful difference. But they can, especially when it comes to how we use and invest our money.
Every financial decision sends a signal. When you choose to align your money with positive impact by investing in companies and projects that build solutions rather than problems, you’re not only reducing harm directly, but you’re also helping to shift the system itself. The ripple effect is real: capital moves, standards rise, and markets evolve. Meaningful change happens when enough of us decide to act with intention.
You have power. And using it well doesn’t need to mean sacrificing returns. It means helping to create a future that’s both prosperous and sustainable.
Impact through financial advice: an example
Research shows that switching the national average pension to a sustainable fund can be 21 times more effective than the combined annual carbon savings of switching to a renewable electricity provider, substituting all air travel with rail travel, and adopting a vegetarian diet. We are here to help guide you through a process which ensures that your money is working for you and for the wider world.
In addition
Whenever someone becomes a Greenspace client, we plant a tree on their behalf through our rewilding partners, Treeapp. We also plant an additional tree for every client, every year as part of our ongoing advice commitment. Each tree contributes to restoring nature, helping to absorb carbon, improve air quality, protect soil, support wildlife habitats, and create fair, sustainable employment for local communities.
Alongside Treeapp, we’re building partnerships across the financial services sector so that we can plant even more trees when our clients arrange key services through us. This includes Wills, Powers of Attorney, buildings and contents insurance, life and health cover, income protection, annuities, cash management solutions, and mortgage advice.
By talking to us about any of these services, or by connecting friends and family to us you can meaningfully increase your positive impact, simply through the everyday financial decisions you already make.
