Invest in those who are investing in you
To make a difference on climate change we need a green transformation across our entire society. Councils are on the front line of that change, and our investments are a unique way for anyone to support the local climate action they are delivering in our towns, cities and countryside.
Councils can kickstart local green revolutions
Climate change is a complex problem, and one solution definitely doesn’t fit all places. What is required in our cities, where urban flooding is a growing threat, is very different from rural communities where access to services like sustainable transport options is more challenging.
To make a truly effective impact on the climate crisis we need local solutions that respect the places they will be implemented in, and the people who will use the community infrastructure.
Councils have a vital role to play in this. They have the power to influence over a third of UK greenhouse gas emissions, and many are taking that responsibility seriously. Hundreds of councils have declared climate emergencies, and have exciting local climate plans that they are putting into action, to create low carbon, resilient communities that are fit for the future.
Our council investments are a powerful way for you to support this work, because every pound you invest will be used to fund real green projects, that are helping to turn climate vision into real green infrastructure on our streets.

Improving local amenities and your future income
Your savings and investments are one of the most powerful tools you have to tackle climate change, and where you choose to put your money really can make a difference. Indeed, many investors place environmental considerations high on the list of priorities when making financial decisions.
But it is also vital that investments also help take care of your personal financial goals, to create a solid future for you and your family. And that means finding the combination of savings and investments that works for you - whether that is a taking a risk to grow our pot, or keeping our money safe for a rainy day.
Our council investments offer a combination of benefits that are tough to find elsewhere. You money will make a direct difference on the climate crisis by funding real green projects. But you also get a safe haven for your nest egg, with long term fixed interest rates that provide regular income to support your financial plans. And they are accessible to everyone - whether you have £5 or £500,000 to put away.
