Octopus

At Octopus, we're entrepreneurs and we're investors, on a mission to back the people, ideas and industries that will change the world. As entrepreneurs, we build our own businesses to address some of society's biggest problems. Octopus Energy, our energy transition business, is the best example of this. As investors, we invest the £12.9* billion our clients have entrusted us with into the areas where we believe we can have the greatest impact. More than 78% of the £12.9* billion we manage is invested in line with three main themes: empowering people, revitalising healthcare and building a sustainable planet. At our core, we believe that how a company behaves is just as important as what it does. That's why we chose to become an accredited B Corp (the equivalent of a Fairtrade coffee stamp but for companies) and to change our Articles of Association so that the interests of all our stakeholders – employees, customers, communities, environment and shareholders – are considered in every decision we make. Octopus Investments, Octopus Energy, Octopus Money, Australia, Seccl Technology, Aurora and Guardian Angel are all part of Octopus Group. * Octopus as at 31 March 2023 Funds Under Management data includes undrawn commitments, funds under advisory mandates and funds monitored.
