What is "good" changes on who you ask, but more problematically, what we are told is "good" is not always so. In fact, we are so disillusioned that 70% of surveyed people think that investments marketed as sustainable, probably aren’t 🤷 FCA are addressing this by releasing much tighter rules on what can be marketed as “sustainable”, and what = sustainable in the first place.

And bringing clearer options into the hands of sustainable investors like me 🙌
