In 2007 the amount
of money invested ethically reached almost £9 billion and over three quarters
of a million ethical accounts have been opened. But exactly what counts as investing
ethically? And how do you find out what the ethical options are?

The combination of environmental factors such
as climate change and an increasing interest from consumers in the ethics
behind a company's profits means socially responsible investment is a massive
growth area. The problem is that there is no straightforward definition of
'ethical'. Many consumers are unsure
about how to turn their ideas into reality.



Green Money explains the ideas
behind ethical investment, points out sources of information and advice and will help
the reader develop a financial plan that's sustainable both for them personally and
for the planet.



This book will give anyone who is
contemplating investing ethically a step-by-step guide to the choices that face
them and the decisions they have to make.

It addresses issues such as:

• What makes an
  investment ethical
• Who to turn to
  for advice
• How to draw up
  their ethical shortlist
• How to monitor
  their chosen investments' ethical stance
• What the ethical
  savings and mortgage options are
