    Despite Brexit being in full, or at least half, swing it’s interesting to see that European funding is still filtering down to promote further economic development. As an example I came across a statement recently announcing that £14.35M was being granted by the European Regional Development Fund to the Local …

    Bureaucracy Can be Good !

    One comment that was reeled out during the rather depressing Brexit debate was that we had to move away from the heavy bureaucracy of the European Institutions. Leaving aside the false argument that this was an unelected bureaucracy – remember we had a European Parliament electing MEP’s by proportional …

    Monday, June 22, 2015 9:20 pm  Main Page, Uncategorized   Richard Essex  0  101

      It’s very easy to think of responsible and ethical investing as some special science forever at the margins. But there is a growing recognition that this approach is becoming far more mainstream. Underpinning this view is the notion that real sustainable profit can only come from Companies who have a purpose …
