4 good reasons to boost your environmental commitment by investing “green”

Adapting your daily consumption towards greener products and services has a double effect. On one hand it has a direct, short-term impact on CO_² emissions and waste production. On the other hand, it has a more lasting, long-term effect as it pushes brands and companies to produce more green alternatives and consider the impact on the environment  as a key feature of all their products.

However, did you know that there is another way for you to incentivise companies to be more eco-friendly? Well, by investing into green investment products, you show them that not only their consumers care about nature, but their shareholders too.

Let’s imagine that you could make more out of your money, not only for your personal purchases but also for the environment. In today’s* context, switching money from your savings to investments, would potentially have a better yield because of the currently low interest rates. In fact, the inflation eats up all your savings-returns, if you don’t take action.

*Past performance of an investment product does not predict future returns.

In other words, choosing a sustainable investment product doesn’t mean that you have to expect lower returns. Knowing that, investing in sustainable products represents an attractive alternative.
