Mindful Money

Mindful Money is a charity that promotes enhanced financial flows for emissions reductions and enhanced resilience; and the inclusion of social, environmental and climate considerations into financial decision-making. Mindful Money provides transparency of financial information; educates and empowers financial users; contributes to higher standards... for providers; and advocates for a supportive legal and policy framework. Mindful Money strongly supports urgent action to reduce New Zealand's emissions. We support recommendations made by civil society allies for a policy framework that will go faster and further in reducing our emissions.
