Govind Sankaranarayanan, co-founder and COO at Ecofy talks about how retail investors can go green
In light of that, what should a retail investor keep in mind while choosing sustainable investments? How can they create a carbon-friendly investor profile without affecting profits? In this podcast, Nabodita Ganguly interacts with Govind Sankaranarayanan, co-founder and COO at Ecofy, to understand how retail investors can go green and the first step towards starting it.
Sankaranarayanan explains that retail investors have several ways to choose sustainable investments. One option is to invest in environment, social, and governance (ESG) funds offered by mutual fund houses. These funds are prohibited from investing in environmentally unsustainable or poorly governed companies. Another option is to explore specific FinTech platforms that curate pools of sustainable assets, such as rooftop solar installations or electric vehicle loans.
