Spotlight: Triodos' ethical ISA

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The deal

Triodos is offering an Ethical Fixed Rate ISA paying 2.1 per cent over two years and 2.3 per cent over three years.

Good points

The rate is reasonable but the key point is that your cash is used to finance organisations delivering a positive environmental, social or cultural impact.

Bad points

There are better rates out there.

Conclusion

The question shouldn't be can you afford to invest ethically, but can you afford not to. The alternative – sticking money in a high street bank – means boosting bankers' bonuses and increasing shareholders' wealth. Invest ethically and you can see exactly how your money is being used at Triodos' website www.knowwhereyourmoneygoes.co.uk
