Companies Going Green

“Going green” is not just a concern for most ordinary individuals, but in a sudden movement companies going green has become an important part of corporate marketing. Companies that manufacture goods and release carbon emissions see the benefits of going green are not only contributing to the recent environmental restoration but also an increased interest by consumers. Im going to provide a list of green companies which I think have the best outlook for the future. If your new to investing and are not really sure where to start, you can read this definition of green equity I have written for beginners to the scene.

Top Green Companies

Some of my favorite green investments are from overseas corporations. Although there are many companies worth mentioning Ill mostly be listing ones from the U.S. Remember that making investments requires a substantial risk and each person should evaluate their own risks before investing.

1. First Solar (FSLR) The first company to introduce a recycling program for solar modules and continues to find cost-reducing renewable energy options. Also the first company to introduce solar modules below $1 per watt (98c). High prospects for the future in my opinion.

2. Ormat Technologies (ORA) Ormat is another green energy companies that has gone public in the recent years (2005). Their dividend system is really a good benefit because they pay around twenty percent of their yearly profits

3. Organic Valley One of the biggest producers of organic foods and veg. Downside of this one is that the stock is only available in a few states and hard to get hold of. The company has seen record growth in the past years and looks like the expected forecast from next year is upward.

4. Vestas (VWDRY) Vestas is one of the largest producers of wind turbines for renewable energy generation. They’ve managed to make more than a thousand jobs during the recent expansion and have said that the economic downturn is increasing demand for their product.

5. Tesla Motors Telsa motors is completely dedicated to building electric cars. They are developing new technologies daily and hoping to make electric vehicles a viable possibility. Thats the rundown on some of my favorite green investments.

Green Energy Investments
So why the interest in green stock investments? I like them because they are the way of the future. Green funds have recently become popular because of the environmental advantages as well as financial benefits. The criteria for such “green funds” are that they are working to better the environment, manufacturing energy efficient products, or have a specific focus on being socially responsible.

Think about it from the consumer point of view. If your going to buy a product, you’d be more willing to buy a product from company thats using some of their revenue to help the environment. We get a moral satisfaction from contributing to a bigger cause.
