Triodos Bank and Pennine Wealth Solutions have both received a Good Egg mark, the UK accreditation making it easier for consumers to find financial providers that use finance to benefit people and planet.

The Good Egg rates companies against a range of different environmental, social and industry impact factors, taking into account the size and history of the firm and its performance.

Triodos Bank only lends to organisations generating social, environmental or cultural benefit. This includes social housing, charities and social enterprises, renewable energy, organic food and farming and fair trade. Triodos Bank offers a current account, a full range of ethical ISAs, including Cash ISAs, a Stocks and Shares ISA and more recently an Innovative Finance ISA via the new Triodos Crowdfunding platform.

The raft of products launched helps illustrate the growth in consumer-facing ethical products available in finance, and the increasing interest from the public.

Bevis Watts, managing director at Triodos Bank UK, said: “The Good Egg for us represents an important step in providing guidance for people aiming to align their money with their values. It helps to identify the genuinely ethical options in the market. Thankfully many savers are now putting transparency and positive impact at their top of their criteria.”

Good With Money initially worked with the UK Sustainable Investment and Finance Association (UKSIF) to develop the Good Egg mark which launched last year. Other Good Eggs include Thrive Renewables, Downing Crowd, Abundance and EQ Investors.
