Ethical savings: NS&I raises rate on green bond to 5.7%

Deal offered over three years, and money invested will help finance windfarms and tree planting

Savers who want to make a difference with their cash no longer have to sacrifice a decent return after National Savings and Investments raised the rate on its green bond to 5.7%.

The UK government-backed provider is offering the deal over a three-year term and savers will not be able to access their money in that period.
