How to Invest Ethically in the UK (NEW 2025 Rules Explained)

Did you know there are new rules when it comes to ethical and sustainable investing in the UK? The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has introduced Sustainability Disclosure Requirements (SDR), which changes how funds are labelled and marketed.

In this video, Damien explains the SDR framework and what its four new labels mean for investors in the UK. He explores the crucial difference between 'ethical' and 'sustainable' investing and why many long-standing ethical funds haven't adopted the new SDR labels.

Most importantly, Damien reveals the best FREE tools you can use right now to research companies and find funds that align with your values—whether you're looking for SDR-labelled funds, passive trackers or simply want to see how ethical portfolios have performed against the wider market.
