[ PROBLEM ]

£3 trillion approximate worth of UK pension funds. 90% employees have their workplace pension in the default fund. £88 billion of UK pensions are invested in fossil fuels, coal and chemicals. 38% adults aren’t saving enough for retirement with housing costs in mind.

[ CONTEXT ]

Currently, 12.2 million millennials in the UK hold 60% of pension accounts, yet there's low engagement, with 25% never checking and 23% checking only annually. Isla tackles this lack of engagement, aiming to motivate users to save adequately for retirement, given the rising costs.

Moreover, £3 trillion is invested in UK pension funds, with £88 billion funding non-sustainable sectors like coal and petroleum. Isla intervenes by raising awareness and nudging users to consider the environmental impact of their investments.

[ SOLUTION ]

Isla promotes sustainable investment and aims to motivate millennials to save for their future. It’s a B2B2C model targeting working professionals.
