Ethical Savings Accounts

Does anyone know how I can compare ethical savings accounts? I know Smile and the Cooperative offer them (I have a smile current account - but their mini cash ISA pays a paltry 4.5%), but does anyone know of any others?

Martin, would be a good extension to the main Savings Accounts article.

    The trouble is, as the rates aren't particularly competitive, I think it defeats the purpose of the site rather to promote them.

    I still have a smile account, although the current account rate is pitiful now! I do have ethical inclinations, but as I have a large mortgage now, I'll pretty much go with the highest ISA rate I can get. (unless it's Barclays, /spit)
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    The Ethical Consumer website http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/ has lots of information.

    I've made a choice to use Triodos http://www.triodos.co.uk/- the rates aren't as high as some, but I have very strong opinions as to where I am prepared to invest. In the past I've had to make some very difficult compromises which I no longer have to do.
