Investment target
£5m in the next 5 years
Hounslow declared a climate emergency in 2019, and the Cabinet adopted the Climate Emergency Action Plan in 2020. The Hounslow Green Investment will support the Council’s strategic sustainability goals, while giving everyone in the community the chance to get involved and benefit from the green transition.
Hounslow Green Investment is a great way for people to invest in the borough and make a decent return too. But more importantly, it is encouraging people to take an active role in lowering local carbon emissions.

Know what your money is funding
Our council green investments comply with the Green Loan Principles, which means that investors know exactly what green projects your money is being used to fund, and receive regular updates across the investment term.
Risks of investing
Rising costs, increasing demand for services, and cuts in central government funding have all put council budgets under strain. But investing in councils remains low risk due to the way they are regulated.
