How to find investments that value real long-term holistic benefits over short-term profiteering

A unique resource for fossil fuel divestment, green-ish and socially responsible investment options in South Africa, for both institutional and individual investors. 

PLANET A INVESTMENT GUIDE

Practical guide for citizen investors

This page is home to our tentative practical guide to more ethical and sustainable investment and fossil fuel divestment for South Africans who want a liveable planet and healthy society. The latest edition is from October 2024, and comes with a handbook: 

  • Handbook (PDF) in glorious technicolour introducing the guide and providing practical steps towards divestment. This lists only three South African funds (international funds are in the document below). 

  • Full-length (Google doc) version, including funds available in South Africa which invest in emerging, global and offshore markets (with explanations of the differences between these categories and a host of other helpful information).
