"There’s a lot you could buy with £115m: more than 35m lattes, 2m West End
theatre tickets, or a gym pass to keep you going for 213,000 years.
Alternatively, you could invest it in pioneering organisations pushing for
social and environmental transformation – which is exactly what not-for-profit
investment platform Ethex has done. But not on its own.
Since launching in 2013, it’s sent upwards of £115m to change-making ethical
businesses across the UK – raised from around 25,000 everyday investors,
contributing as little as £100 each. As well as making a lasting impact on
planet-friendly projects, funders target returns of up to 6.5%.
Ethex CEO and founder Lisa Ashford says: “Our 10-year celebrations are actually
a rallying cry from Ethex to encourage thousands of like-minded people who may
not be aware of us to join us in creating an even bigger decade of impact. We
believe in making direct impact investing accessible to all, whether you have
£100 or £10,000 to invest.“
As Ethex marks its first decade – peruse its 10-year anniversary impact report
here – we take a look at five organisations its investors have supported."
