HIPTM = Human Impact + Profit:
For your company, your portfolio and your world.
Oil prices are soaring. Returns on energy stocks have been robust. The 30 largest oil companies account for some 6% of the entire global equities market. In building wealth to pay for your kids’ college or your own retirement, ignoring energy stocks can be costly. If you’re a mutual-fund investor, you probably already own a chunk of Big Oil, even if you don’t realize it.
Fast Company asked the sustainability experts at HIP Investor Inc. and the Social Venture Technology Group for help in analyzing the world’s 10 largest oil companies. Using the HIP methodology— Human Impact + Profit — to measure the environmental and social impacts of business, HIP + SVT argue that, over the long term, companies’ willingness to grapple with environmental and social issues translates into higher net income, through new products and lower costs, and stronger stock returns. Here are the findings for Big Oil including a HIP guide to investing, a look at alternative energy opportunities and what the future of energy can look like!
