Climate-friendly banking and investment products platform AskSustainable expanded to empower consumers in France, Germany, and Spain

WASHINGTON, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sustainable Capital Advisors (SCA), a financial consulting firm dedicated to connecting capital to sustainable infrastructure projects, today announced the launch of AskSustainable Europe. Consumers in Spain, France and Germany can now easily gain access to climate-friendly financial products available in each country, ranging from bank accounts to impact investing options.

Through AskSustainable, users can browse and compare financial products through integrated tools and access climate-related information for each product. By providing comprehensive and actionable climate-friendly financial information to retail investors, AskSustainable Europe seeks to mobilize capital from European investors to accelerate the deployment of climate-friendly solutions.

"AskSustainable is the largest database of climate-friendly banking and investing products currently available to consumers and institutional investors," said Trenton Allen, CEO, Sustainable Capital Advisors. "We're excited to expand the platform's reach to include information for folks in these western European countries and look forward to adding even more climate-friendly products to the platform later this year."

AskSustainable Europe is an expansion of the groundbreaking AskSustainable U.S. platform originally launched in November 2022 designed to transform how U.S.-based consumers manage their finances and make climate-friendly investments in sustainable solutions. AskSustainable U.S. now includes financial literacy resources, guides and articles on green banking and sustainable finance as well as an updated database of climate-friendly financial products.

Switching to a bank that prioritizes sustainable investments can significantly reduce personal banking emissions by 76 percent on average for U.S. consumers, according to research by Project Drawdown. Moreover, sustainable investing is becoming increasingly attractive, with more than 77 percent of global investors interested, according to Morgan Stanley's Institute for Sustainable Investing. Reports show that sustainable funds generated median returns of 12.6 percent in 2023, almost 50 percent ahead of the 8.6 percent of traditional funds.

"As our tagline states, 'change is in your pocket' and every dollar invested in climate-friendly products can make a significant positive impact on the environment," said Allen.

AskSustainable provides users with innovative financial products that align with their values and contribute to a more sustainable future. The platform is free to use and offers detailed information on various climate-friendly financial products, helping consumers make informed decisions that support both their financial goals and the planet. By offering a comprehensive database of sustainable financial options, AskSustainable aims to promote environmental responsibility and support a more sustainable future.
