The UK’s socially responsible investing (SRI) market will grow by 173% by 2027 to reach £48 billion, according to a new survey from sustainable investment firm Triodos Bank, which asked 2,020 UK investors about the role that sustainability and ethics would play in their future investment choices. More than half (55%) of the respondents told Triodos that they would like their money to support companies which contribute to making a more positive society and sustainable environment. Additionally, a fifth said they were planning to invest in an SRI fund before 2027. The trend towards sustainable investment proved to be particularly pronounced among the millennial and Gen-Z respondents to the survey, with almost half (47%) of investors aged 18-34 saying they intended to invest in an SRI fund within the next nine years.
