Bestinvest

How ethical is Bestinvest?

Owned by Permira Holdings Ltd and Warburg Pincus L.L.C., Bestinvest is an investment and financial coaching brand which also provides pensions.

Unfortunately, Bestinvest does not reach The Good Shopping Guide’s minimum Ethical Benchmark. Due to its low score, it has the lowest place on the Ethical Pensions Ratings Table and is not one of our ethical pension providers.

Visit the Ethical Pensions Ratings Table to see how Bestinvest compares to other brands within the Ethical Pensions sector. Our Ratings Tables can help you to find out more about the criteria that a brand must reach to meet our minimum Ethical Benchmark.

The Good Shopping Guide encourages all brands to follow the example that has been set by our top- rated brands to introduce more ethical practices and apply for Ethical Accreditation.

In which areas does Bestinvest perform well?

Unfortunately, Bestinvest does not perform well in many categories. It is only awarded a top score for Environmental Destruction since it was not found to be involved in any environmentally harmful projects.

What scores does Bestinvest need to improve upon?

Bestinvest receives a bottom score for the Environmental Report category, due to a lack of sufficient environmental commitments and evidence of what the company is doing to mitigate its impact on the planet.

It also receives a bottom score for Political Donations as both Permira and Warburg Pincus have donated over The Good Shopping Guide’s threshold for political donations in recent election cycles.

What can Bestinvest do to improve its score? 

Bestinvest’s below benchmark score on The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Pensions Ratings Table is the outcome of a calculation of multiple ethical criteria.

If Bestinvest was to work on its bottom and middle ratings, it could see its Ethical Rating rise on our table and become one of the best pension providers.
