當然可以!
根據全球可持續發展投資聯盟(GSI Alliance)的數據,截至2018年,在可持續發展範疇進行投資的散戶比例已增加至25%,同時,在散戶投資市場上,與可持續/綠色投資相關的產品也逐漸出現。
當我們更有意識地選擇自己的衣著及決定使用甚麼類型的產品時,也可同時開始思考怎樣管理個人財務,才能對世界帶來正面及積極的影響。
從哪裏開始呢?如同大家現在喜歡搜尋可回收的生活產品(例如玻璃/鋁飲管、便攜式杯子),我們也需要積極尋找可持續的投資機會。剛開始時選擇可能較少,但隨著需求的增長,供應必會隨之而來。例如在英國,現時已出現了專門與可持續性投資有關的存款服務。每個人都可以參與搜尋從而提高此類型需求!

We sure can!
According to GSI Alliance, the portion of retail investors that is investing in sustainability has increased to 25% by 2018, and we have started to see sustainability / green investing related products being available in the market for retail investors.
As we make more conscious choices around what we wear and what we use, we can also think about where we can manage our personal finances in a way that will bring positive impact.
Where can we start? Just like how we proactively go and look for recyclable products (e.g. glass / aluminum straws, portable cups), we also need to proactively look for investment opportunities in sustainability. It may be few and far between at the beginning, but as demand grows, the supply will also follow. For example, in the UK, there are now deposits that specifically ties to sustainability investments. We can all participate in the search and drive up the demand!
