Toronto, ON – The second annual study of ‘Green’ Financial Services in Canada found that despite a decline in focus away from issues such as the environment, healthcare and education and sustained focus on the economy, Canadians are adopting more ‘Green’ financial services. These services include: ‘Green’ Auto Loans (preferential rates for the purchase of an energy-efficient vehicle), ‘Green’ Savings accounts (accounts earmarked for investing in energy-efficient companies), ‘Green’ Auto insurance (reduced rates for customers driving energy-efficient vehicles) and more. The results are taken from Ipsos-Reid’s ‘Green’ Financial Products and Services, which interviewed 2,209 Canadian adults in a comprehensive survey of the Canadian financial services market.
