Welcome to Rathbone Greenbank Investments

2025 has proven to be a pivotal year for oceans on the global stage. David Attenborough’s latest documentary ‘Ocean’ launched to great fanfare; the UN Ocean Conference concluded with the High Seas Treaty achieving ratification by over 60 countries, and looking ahead the COP30 climate conference in Brazil is expected to place significant emphasis on the role of oceans in climate action. In Greenbank’s latest whitepaper, Ethical, Sustainable and Impact Researcher Charlie Young shares his take on what he describes as “the world’s most undervalued natural asset".

The FCA’s Sustainability Disclosure Requirements began to be rolled out across the financial services industry in 2024. These are a package of measures, together aim to inform and protect consumers, enhance competition, and improve trust in the market for sustainable investment products.

Responsible gold is no longer a niche concern, finds Greenbank’s new whitepaper, but the sector must continue to raise standards and improve transparency.

To celebrate the 21st anniversary of Greenbank, founder and investment director Elizabeth Haigh is catching up with inspiring women she has worked with over the course of her career in ethical and sustainable investment. In the second in this series, Elizabeth spoke with Amanda Davidson, one of the most influential financial advisers in recent decades.
