The Co-operative Financial Services and Ecclesiastical Investment Management are today named as sponsors of the third National Ethical Investment Week (NEIW). Organised by UKSIF, the sustainable investment and finance association, NEIW 2010 will be held 7-13 November. NEIW will feature a series of events and other activities across the country to raise awareness of green and ethical investing.

Tim Franklin, Chief Operating Officer, The Co-operative Financial Services, said:
“In the current climate, there is a groundswell of interest from consumers, businesses and others in the need for ethical and responsible finance and investment. NEIW provides an ideal opportunity to showcase how responsible finance is addressing some of our most pressing challenges, be it climate change or global poverty, and the options that this presents for consumers.” 

Sue Round, Head of Investments, Ecclesiastical Investment Management, said:
“As a company with deep roots in socially responsible investment, Ecclesiastical Investment Management believes that NEIW provides a real opportunity to highlight the benefits of taking an ethical approach to finance. We look forward to working with UKSIF and others to promote the principles we stand for, and demonstrate to consumers and IFAs that ethical investment is no longer a niche area.”
