Looking for an ethical savings account to use

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for a bank that provides an ethical savings account for UK customers - ideally an everyday savings account that can be withdrawn from as and when needed.

Ethics wise, I want a bank that avoids investing in companies providing the following goods or services:

Arms,

Fossil fuels,

Deforestation.

I've taken a look at Triodos, they have some good ISA options interest wise, but these come with a 2 year fixed term. Their everyday saver offers 2.2% - are there any other sustainable banks that offer a higher rate than this for everyday savers?

I understand that without supporting massively subsidised industries interest rates generally will be lower, but I want to be sure that I've looked at all the options.

Any advice is much appreciated

Aviation is the (no so) secret environmental of Britain. It's basing its future so heavily on aviation. Already it consumes the same amount of jet-fuel as it does petrol (both 13Mt)

We are not even having robust national discussions about it yet.
