Ethical spending

The annual survey of ethical spending in the UK, compiled by the Co-operative Bank, shows a record level of £29.4bn. This means that green spending has overtaken the £28bn spent on alcohol and cigarettes (excluding pubs)
This increase, 11% on the previous year, has been driven by growth in areas such as organic food, fair trade products, green energy deals and ethical financial products.

But it isn't just spending that is at stake. In the same survey two years ago, shoppers said they were withholding £2.58bn worth of business from firms with which they disagreed.
