What we do
We’re Octopus. And we’re a bit unusual. For the last two decades, we’ve been challenging convention and backing companies.
We’re a group of entrepreneurially minded businesses, all founded on one simple belief: that people and the planet deserve better.
We’ve recently been working on something a little different.
For our first ever documentary series, our co-founder Simon has been exploring some of society’s biggest challenges and speaking to those finding solutions.
Watch the series to hear stories of those whose lives are being transformed, demonstrating the positive impact of business when it’s harnessed as a force for good.
Octopus Investments
Octopus Investments was where it all began.
Today we manage more than £13.4* billion on behalf of our institutional and retail clients, with more than 70% of these funds targeting investments that tackle climate change, improve people’s quality of life and address inequality.
Octopus Energy
Octopus Energy Group is the global energy tech pioneer, launched in 2016 with our name and backing. With close to 8 million retail customers, award-winning customer service, and over 54 million accounts powered by its technology platform Kraken, Octopus Energy Group is well on its way to achieving its vision of an affordable green energy revolution. While we no longer own Octopus Energy, we’re proud to be its largest external shareholder.
Octopus Money
Octopus Money is making it easier, cheaper and more exciting for everyone to get money advice from a real person. We partner with workplaces to help their employees make the most of the money they earn. We’re on a mission to help millions take the first steps to turning their life dreams into reality.
Octopus Legacy
Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. Offering a range of estate planning services from wills to life insurance, as well as probate and bereavement support. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. Octopus Legacy take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than just money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you’re here. And after you’re gone.
Octopus Energy Generation
In 2021, we sold Octopus Renewables, our renewable energy generation business to Octopus Energy Group. Now operating as Octopus Energy Generation, the company manages one of the largest portfolios of solar and wind assets in Europe. It generates the equivalent energy consumption of around 1.2 million homes.
