Editorial Policy

The standards behind EcoInvestor articles, company audits, and greenwashing analysis.

Core Standard

EcoInvestor aims to publish clear, evidence-led green finance education. We distinguish between company claims, third-party data, regulatory requirements, and EcoInvestor analysis.

Sourcing

Articles and audits should cite visible sources where practical, prioritising annual reports, sustainability reports, regulatory filings, recognised standards bodies, reputable news organisations, and official policy documents.

Company Eco-Audits

Eco-audits are guided by the EcoInvestor 30-point framework covering carbon strategy, biodiversity and environmental protection, and governance. Ratings are educational research outputs, not buy/sell recommendations.

Corrections

When a material error is identified, EcoInvestor aims to correct it promptly and, where appropriate, update the article or audit date. Readers are encouraged to submit corrections with source links.

AI Assistance

EcoInvestor may use AI tools to assist with drafting, summarising, research organisation, or editing. Human review remains important for publication decisions, source checks, and final editorial judgement.

Financial Advice Boundary

EcoInvestor content is informational and educational only. It does not consider your personal circumstances and should not be treated as regulated financial advice.
