FINANCIAL ORGANISATIONS - CONDITIONS

All financial organisations must adhere to the following conditions of participation. You must agree to these conditions before using the logos and/or website banners.

1. I/we understand that participation under these conditions is open only to those who are regulated investment professionals, financial services organisations or others with a commercial interest in financial services. I/we confirm that I/we are eligible under these conditions.
2. I/we will seek to protect and enhance the good reputation of National Ethical Investment Week (NEIW); I/we will ensure that all my/our NEIW activities and communications are legal, easily understood, clear, fair, not misleading, trying to give an accurate and balanced view and not discriminatory or offensive.
3. I/we confirm that I/we are in good standing with all relevant regulators, eg. the Financial Services Authority, and will meet all regulatory and compliance requirements relevant to our NEIW activities.
4. For banks, investment managers and product providers only: I/we confirm that we are an UKSIF member or affiliate and will remain so in November 2010.
5. For financial advisers only: I/we confirm that I/we can offer informed advice to clients about green and ethical investments and recommend appropriate green and ethical investments to interested clients or refer them elsewhere.
6. I/we will follow the NEIW brand guidelines in using the NEIW logos.
7. I/we will describe my involvement as as 'supporting' or 'backing' NEIW, not as 'sponsor of' or 'sponsoring' NEIW or otherwise give a potentially misleading impression of the nature of my support. I/we will ensure that any acknowledgement of external support for NEIW activities or communications (eg. sponsorship of a local event) is clearly specific to that and does not imply sponsorship of NEIW as a whole.
8. I/we accept that UKSIF and any others involved in NEIW do not take any responsibility for any statements made by me/us during the week or for any expenses or legal liabilities incurred. I/we accept that my/our activities are not covered by any insurance held by UKSIF or others involved in NEIW.
9. I/we agree to
   • provide reasonable information to UKSIF to enable publicity, monitoring and evaluation of NEIW.
   • allow UKSIF to send me/us information about NEIW and green and ethical investment.
   • withdraw from participation at any time at the request of UKSIF.
