More about council investments
Why invest
To make a difference on climate change we need a green transformation across our entire society. Our council green investments are a unique way for anyone to support essential local climate action.
Look after your financial future
Our council green investments offer a valuable low risk, stable and flexible option that can help support your financial plans - whether you are growing your nest egg or want to generate an income.
Know what your money is funding
Our council green investments align with the internationally recognised Green Loan Principles which means that investors know exactly which green projects your money is being used to fund with 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.
