The reviewing article is titled IBD's 100 Best ESG Companies For 2022. It appears on investors.com and is by Kathleen Doler. Now some quotes from Ms. Doler. “Topping the list this year is Worthington Industries (WOR). J.B. Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) took second place. And rounding out the top three is data analytics provider Verisk Analytics (VRSK). All 100 companies on our 2022 list ranked in the top 15% of Dow Jones ESG scores and had an IBD Composite Rating of 81 or better (on a scale of 1 to 99), as of Aug. 31… Technology behemoths Texas Instruments (TXN) and Apple (AAPL) finished fourth and fifth respectively.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4) The Winning ESG Companies The second company ranking also has an intriguing background. It's called The Humankind 100 and this list is found on their site humankind.co. Here are some quotes from their site. “The Humankind 100 list is compiled annually by the research team at Humankind Investments, an investment manager whose mission is to invest in the manner that is best for humanity. You can learn more about the Humankind Value methodology by visiting our research or articles pages… Humankind 100 companies tend to contribute positively to humanity, for example by providing access to food, clean water, healthcare, or free digital services.” End quotes. Incidentally, though Humankind purports a unique methodology, they arrive at pretty much the same companies as most other 'best company ESG' lists. Nonetheless, they have an interesting concept that will appeal to many ethical and sustainable investors. Their top five companies are Alphabet, Inc. (GOOGL), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Pfizer Inc. (PFE), AbbVie Inc. (ABBV), and Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ). ------------------------------------------------------------- 5) The Winning ESG Companies Now back to a favorite sector with this article. It's titled Investing in green energy here are the top 5 stock picks on londonlovesbusiness.com. It's by LLB Finance Reporter. Here are some brief quotes with their picks. “With the green energy industry continually expanding, Maxim Manturov, Head of Investment Advice at Freedom Finance Europe, explores which companies are promising investment choices within the sector… (He chooses) Tesla (TSLA) Plug Power (PLUG) Enphase Energy (ENPH) Sunrun (RUN) First Solar (FSLR).” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Capital Keeps Flowing Into Green Bonds Despite Inflation Challenges Finally, we have this article titled Capital Keeps Flowing Into Green Bonds Despite Inflation Challenges by Ben Hernandez on etftrends.com. Here's some of what Mr. Hernandez says. “One option for fixed income investors looking for ESG bond exposure who also want the yield that corporate bonds can offer is the Vanguard ESG U.S. Corporate Bond ETF (VCEB). Additionally, the fund doesn't command a high premium with its low expense ratio of 0.12% and a 30-day SEC yield of 5.51%, as of October 17. (This bond fund) seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate SRI Select Index, which excludes bonds with maturities of one year or less and with less than $750 million outstanding, and it is screened for certain ESG criteria by the index provider, which is independent of Vanguard… The fund has a discerning screener. This adds an air of purity for VCEB's holdings, avoiding any greenwashing with a keen focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. (It's) highlights: Provides debt issues screened for certain ESG criteria. Specifically excludes bonds of companies that the index sponsor determines are involved in and/or derive threshold amounts of revenue from certain activities or business segments related to adult entertainment, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, nuclear weapons, controversial weapons, conventional weapons, civilian firearms, nuclear power, genetically modified organisms, or thermal coal, oil, or gas. Excludes bonds of companies that, as determined by the index sponsor, do not meet certain standards defined by the index sponsor's ESG controversies assessment framework, as well as firms that fail to have at least one woman on their boards.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- One Other Honorable Mention Title: Top 5 Renewable Energy Stocks For Q4 2022 on forbes.com.
