Climate Action
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Why Invest In Climate Action?
Renewable energy production is no longer the future. It is the present. The Climate Action portfolio, built in collaboration with Etho Capital, seeks long-term capital appreciation and allows everyone to positvely affect climate change by investing in companies that exceed leading climate investment standards, are net climate positive on the Etho Global Climate Positive Index, and dedicate resources not only to reducing pollution, but to implementing real solutions.
THE NEWDAY DIFFERENCE
Results are an Outcome of Action
Supporting our methodology extends beyond just divestment but identifying companies that are industry leaders in reducing GHG emissions. We advocate for corporate behavioral change, support climate change legislation, and build communities that promote for bold climate leadership through our impact advocates.
Net Negative Carbon Portfolio
In partnership with Etho Capital, we assess the impacts of US EPA Scope 1-3 emissions. This portfolio has achieved a net negative aggregated GHG emissions score because the companies in the portfolio have achieved or are striving to achieve “net negative” carbon emissions.
High Concentration of Pure Plays
We construct portfolios to ensure that at least 50% of portfolio constituents are “pure plays” tied to the ESG theme. Every company in our portfolios has either a direct or indirect connection to the impact issue with which it’s associated, and every portfolio is connected to an impact NGO or nonprofit partner.
