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 council green 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
Our councils have an incredibly important role to play in delivering effective climate action. They have the power to influence over a third of UK greenhouse gas emissions. Hundreds 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, in partnership with the people who live and work there.
Our council green investments are a powerful way for you to support this work, because every pound you invest will be used to fund real projects that are helping to turn climate vision into real green infrastructure on our streets. But you don’t have to take that on trust. All our council investments are compliant with the Green Loan Principles - nationally recognised standards that ensure the money raised can only be used on green projects.

Improving local amenities and your future income
Planning for the future is important when it comes to taking action on the climate crisis, and the same is true for our personal finances. We are all trying to build a nest egg for tomorrow and, whatever the size of our pot, it is important that we have access to savings and investment products that can help reach our goals.
Sometimes that’s about taking a risk to grow our money, but millions of us also need a safe haven for some of our nest egg. Over 13 million of us* have money put aside in savings and investments that can meet this important need - fixed rate ISAs, investment bonds, annuities, and NS&I.
Our council investments offer an alternative option with similar benefits for people looking for a regular income to support their financial plans, backed by long term fixed interest rates. And they are accessible to everyone - whether you have £5 or £500,000 to put away.
