Look into ethical banking

[Daniel-Mietchen]

Ethical considerations have been the main reason why my family and I have not injected any of our financial resources into stocks, bonds or other financial instruments.

However, it is becoming increasingly clear that whatever pensions my partner and I might get in Germany will not be sufficient to sustain us once we stop getting regular income from work.

So one approach that seems worth considering is taking a look at financial institutions, instruments and such that have passed certain levels of ethical review. So in this ticket, I'll be collecting notes on systems/ platforms etc. for such reviews, the criteria used, as well as on financial services or institutions etc. that get high grades in such reviews.

There is also https://www.triodos.co.uk/ which states "We publish details of every organisation we finance on our website, so you can see for yourself how your money is delivering positive change for people and planet"

I noticed that @Ainali has begun to look into this too at https://github.com/Ainali/ideas/issues/50 .
