Overview

Socially responsible investing (SRI) has been gaining favour among investors. Among projects funded by SRI, there are many investment opportunities in the environmental space. These are companies, small and large, dedicated to fulfilling the ever-increasing global demand for solutions that enhance efficiency, tackle pollution and reduce waste. These solutions range from electric vehicles and high-speed rail networks to smart city infrastructure and industrial automation. Such environmental firms serve the same innovative purpose as the forward-looking tech companies. They reimagine and recreate the utility and industrial space to help make a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable world.
