We’re a not-for-profit organisation which has spent the last ten years creating a vibrant marketplace for positive investment.
Against climate change, social inequality and the crises within our communities. So, we’ve made it our mission to make change happen.
We see money as the most powerful force for social transformation. Our vision is a world where everyone can use their money to create a lasting positive impact that aligns with their values. Where we can collectively help pioneering and extraordinary businesses to deliver community-owned initiatives, renewable energy solutions, sustainable transport and housing solutions.
We then connect them with investors and empower them to build resilient communities, reduce poverty and fight climate change through affordable finance.
We provide expert support, easy-to-access products and a handpicked choice of attractive positive investment opportunities. Our passion is reflected in a compelling track record of financial performance, putting the transformative power of money back in your hands.
Established in 2013, we set out to provide pioneering businesses with the vital finance they need to scale and grow. To empower those working in renewable energy, organic farming, sustainable housing, fair trade and sustainable transport.
Since then, we’ve been at the forefront of ethical finance and positive investing. Ethically paving the way for extraordinary companies to deliver fantastic impact where it matters most. In protecting our people and our planet.
Ten years later, thanks to our community of more than 25,000 positive investors, Ethex and Energise Africa have raised over £120 million. That’s a serious amount of people-powered finance for incredible organisations that are making a difference across the UK and Africa. You can read our ten years of impact report here
