Because money is power and even if you’ve only got 100€ to invest, that’s 100€ of power to wield however you want to. At citizens’ investment fund LITA, they help people invest in companies developing real-world solutions to ecological and social issues.

You can keep your money quietly in the bank; or you can invest. You can invest in whatever will maximise your returns; or you can choose to put your savings to work supporting positive social and environmental initiatives. Lita exists to help you take that last option. As an investment fund, Lita is staffed by experts who evaluate but also advise and accompany businesses on their development, while simultaneously advising and accompanying investors. Listen to the interview with Louise Swistek, partner at Lita, to find out more about their empowered and empowering approach to finance.
