Investors in Service

Octopus Group, we are both entrepreneurs and investors driven by a mission to support the people, ideas, and industries that can drive positive change in the world. As entrepreneurs, we build our own businesses to tackle significant societal challenges. Octopus Energy, our flagship energy transition business, is a prime example of this commitment. As investors, we manage £12.9 billion entrusted by our clients, directing more than 78% of these funds towards empowering people, revitalizing healthcare, and promoting 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, working together to advance our mission.
