Ellie heads up all-things sustainability, making sure everything we do is as conscious as possible. She couldn’t live without volleyball, killer whales and porridge… though hopefully not at the same time.

On the surface, it sounds dry and intangible but it really is worth paying attention to, even if just to sound smart next time you’re at the pub with friends.

Does any other word conjure more feelings of boredom and disinterest than ‘pension’? ‘Finance’ would probably be close. So why on earth would you read this blog on pensions and sustainable finance? Keep reading and we'll show you why.

Potato milk. Milk made from potatoes. Potato derived drink. These are not groups of words I expected to be saying this week, or ever in fact. But here we are, August 2021 and Swedish brand ‘Dug’ has just released the first widely available potato milk. It’s not got the instant appeal of chocolate hazelnut milk, but after only an initial glance over the key benefits, I’m quickly warming to the idea.

We’re joining forces with Europe’s leading tech companies to make net zero happen.

Of the widely accepted sustainable consumer habits, shopping local is right up there. It makes intuitive sense to keep money in the local community, diversifying our economy and knowing that the produce you buy there hasn’t travelled as far, and therefore caused as many emissions.
