Every small step counts as we move towards an inclusive, sustainable and socially responsible economy. But a few million euros aren’t enough to change a system that destroys the planet and creates inequality. That’s why I believe in working together and in global solidarity: alone, we go faster, but together, we go further.

Damien

I like to travel and discover the differences between countries. When I visit a country, I want to contribute to the local economy, but often I don't know how. For me, investing in Alterfin shares is the answer.

Xanthippe

Alterfin is an excellent alternative to traditional bank investments. You don't have to invest large sums to become a co-op member and support the transition to a fair world.

Lina

I spent a long time looking for a meaningful way to invest my savings. Investments with big banks don’t appeal to me because I don’t think their commitment to sustainability goes far enough. I’m willing to take risks when the cause seems worthwhile; my goal isn’t just to see my money grow.

Marie Jeanne

Alterfin’s work has a positive influence on the quality of life of many hard-working smallholder producers. Alterfin analyzes the social and environmental impact of each investment, which is really valuable. The savings we invest via Alterfin help make a difference for millions of families.
