Each week, BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald’s Cooking the Books podcast tackle a different money problem. Today, it’s how to spot true ethical investments that aren’t green-washing. Hosted by Frances Cook.
This episode is brought to you by Milford Asset Management.
Nobody likes to be tricked. Especially not when itcomes to something as important as your money and retirement savings.
So the abundance of green-washing is, frankly, irritating.
There’s so much of it about, there are even subcategories of it.
Green-lighting, green-labelling, green-crowding, green-shifting, and even green-rinsing.
However, there are red flags to identify which can help you figure out who’s trying to pull a fast one, and, of course, some green flags too, so you can figure out who’s genuinely trying to do the right thing.
For the latest episode, I talked to Frances Sweetman from Milford Asset Management.
