Investing Green


Sustainable firms can yield good investment returns

Investing for a green future? You might start with a look at this year’s Sustainable Business 20, an international review that provides examples of the types of firms that might make solid, environmentally responsible investment.

Note: This is not a “buy” list of recommended stocks. Always thoroughly research any “green” company or mutual fund to make sure it is a good investment for you and genuinely committed to conservation or the environment. If you want to align your social and environmental values with long-term financial goals, you may want to consult a professional financial advisor with expertise in green investing.

About the survey
Who compiled the list? Progressive Investor newsletter, published by SustainableBusiness.com, which tracks sustainable stocks, and KLD Research & Analytics.

What’s the criteria? Companies are evaluated based on how well they conduct their business in keeping with green principles. Some companies are featured because they are working to solve environmental or social problems.
