To coincide with Good Money Week we are pleased to announce our media partnership with 3D Investing – a free online resource that provides invaluable insight on sustainable, responsible and ethical funds. The philosophy and approach of 3D Investing is explored in more detail in the Guide to Sustainable Investment.
