What is a sustainable stocks and shares ISA?
A sustainable ISA allows you to invest in a socially responsible way. By choosing investments that meet your own sustainable or ethical criteria, you can grow your money without sacrificing your values.
For investments to be considered sustainable, they usually avoid the following industries:
- Gambling
- Arms and weapons
- Tobacco
- Fossil fuel extraction and oil
Sustainable investments instead support companies who help and consider the environment, who support human and workers' rights, and who protect wildlife.
How to invest in a sustainable ISA with ii
Investors are increasingly looking for investments that match their personal values.
Using Morningstar data, we collate a wider sustainable investment universe of funds, which can be accessed via our Sustainable Investment Screener once logged in. The screener will allow you to search for and choose the sustainable investment that best reflects your needs.
The sustainable investment universe underlying the screener is defined using Morningstar’s (our data provider’s) definition of a “Sustainable Investment”. These funds sit under the Morningstar Sustainable Attributes framework which identifies sustainable investments using the fund’s own stated objectives and categorises them as either a “General ESG Investment” or a “Sustainability Themed Investment”.
