As part of the second annual National Ethical Investment Week, Rathbone Greenbank Investments hosted an evening event on 12 November in our London offices, exploring how money can best be deployed to work for good in society.

In a forum styled on the BBC’s “Dragons’ Den” series, a number of investment professionals from a diverse range of organisations presented their case for investment in their favoured area. The audience had a notional £1 million each to invest as they saw fit!

The winner on the night was Toby Eccles of Social Finance, whose vision of directing investment into holistic programmes for prisoners, cutting reoffending rates and saving tax payer's money captured the imagination of the audience.
