Rebuilding the UK after the pandemic

Sir David Attenborough is not only a national treasure, new-found Instagram influencer, and leading environmental activist, but the pioneering force for a greener future.

In fact, he is the public figure almost three quarters (74%) of UK adults believe best represents our green values and ideals, according to new research released ahead of Good Money Week (24^th – 30^th October).

Following in suit, more than half (51%) believe the government should prioritise low carbon emissions when rebuilding after the coronavirus pandemic, even if it takes a little bit longer to do so. Meanwhile 30% admit they are now more likely to choose products and services based on their positive environmental or social impact.

When investing, backing companies whose core values include sustainability, environmentalism, and ethical practice, is key to achieving a green future. However, only 5% would consider investing with a positive impact or ethical investment platform.

Aston spoke to Charlene Cranny, director of Good Money Week to discuss the aims of Good Money Week 2020, and explain why investing in environmental and sustainable companies is the best option for savvy green savers.
