That's awesome! We've put investments into WealthSimple (Canada), in funds that exclude fossil fuels, weapons manufacturing, defence contracting, tobacco, alcohol, adult entertainment, and any other nefarious activities in violation of the UN Global Compact. I plan to do a full post at some point about banking and investing, as this has a huge climate impact.
Your point about switching your banking is such a salient one. I switched to Triodos last year, and it feels SO GOOD knowing my savings aren’t growing because of arms sales or fossil fuels. Can’t recommend highly enough! For those in the UK, Good Energy is affordable fantastic energy company to check out. I have used them for years.
