It has become both fashionable and commendable to invest in green stocks. And, unlike a few years ago, they are even becoming profitable. As states are increasingly turning to green energy, investing in ecological transition is therefore becoming a must at all levels: ecological, ethical and financial. Investing in green stocks is above all a commitment to a better world and a cleaner planet. Engaging in renewable energies means adopting them but also participating in the growth of companies engaged in development.
The definition of ethical investing has evolved. Where it initially concerned passively compliant companies, it is directed today at companies that show real commitment to positive impact. The European Green Deal and the US return in the Paris climate agreement have triggered a flow of several hundred billion euros into green investments.
Here’s a closer look at green stocks that matter for the environment, consumption and the future:
