The article is titled 7 Green REITs for Sustainable Investing. It's by Glenn Fydenkevez, edited by Jordan Schultz, and found on money.usnews.com. Here are some quotes from Mr. Schultz on each of his picks. “If you're a REIT investor who is concerned about the environmental impact of the stocks you own, here's a list of seven real estate companies that have demonstrated real leadership in adopting sustainable business practices that align with ESG goals: 1. Alexandria Real Estate Equities Inc. (ARE) is a REIT with a market cap of about $18 billion. The company specializes in life science properties… This environmentally responsible REIT is constantly striving to lower its carbon footprint. [The company] is known for using renewable energy sources such as solar panels and geothermal heating and cooling systems in all of the properties it develops. It also created a unique wastewater heat recovery process. Forward dividend yield: 4.9% 2. BXP Inc. (BXP) In 2021, BXP demonstrated its commitment to sustainability by developing one of Massachusetts' first net-zero, carbon-neutral building repositioning projects… BXP – formally known as Boston Properties – has a market-cap of about $14 billion. It is the largest publicly traded office REIT in the U.S. The firm focuses its investment activities on large cities on the east and west coasts, mostly in Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Forward dividend yield: 4.9% 3. Digital Realty Trust Inc. (DLR) is a $64 billion REIT in the fast-growing digital infrastructure industry. The company owns and operates more than 300 data centers around the world, and its portfolio of properties is growing… Apollo AI makes running a data center as efficient as possible. That's what makes Digital Realty Trust a leader in sustainability. Forward dividend yield: 2.5% 4. HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc. (HASI) is a $3.7 billion REIT that invests only in securities related to renewable energy, sustainability infrastructure and energy efficiency… This Annapolis, Maryland-based company focuses on solar projects, wind farms, clean-burning natural gas facilities, fuel cell development, smart grid technology and other green real estate initiatives. Forward dividend yield: 5.3% 5. Prologis Inc. (PLD) has a massive presence in the transportation and logistics real estate industry. The company boasts a market cap of about $103 billion… This company's warehouses and transportation terminals are modern, high-tech facilities. It uses high-speed computers, digital communications, AI and cloud computing technology to help its customers efficiently fulfill orders and deliver products across the U.S. and in Canada, Mexico, the U.K., Germany, Japan and China. Forward dividend yield: 3.3% 6. Host Hotels & Resorts Inc. (HST) has committed to implementing sustainable practices in every one of its 77 hospitality properties in the U.S., Canada and Brazil. The company controls about 42,000 hotel rooms… With a market capitalization of over $13 billion, [it] is the largest lodging REIT in the U.S… Wells Fargo Securities has an ‘overweight' rating on the stock. Stifel gives the company a ‘buy' rating. Forward dividend yield: 4.2% 7. JBG Smith Properties (JBGS) This $1.4 billion REIT controls over 14 million rentable square feet of mixed-use space in the expensive and highly competitive capital district around Washington, D.C… Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) expects that its new campus in Northern Virginia will add 25,000 workers by 2038… Host Hotels & Resorts plans to benefit… and appeal to Amazon's environmentally conscious employees by promoting sustainability and green development practices in every building it buys or builds. Forward dividend yield: 4.3%” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- America's Most Responsible Companies This next article refers to one of America's foremost corporate sustainability rankings, America's Most Responsible Companies. The editorial is by Nancy Cooper, and the full company rankings can be seen at newsweek.com. Here are a few quotes from Ms. Cooper's introduction to the rankings. “Selected from the 2,000 largest publicly traded companies headquartered in the U.S., each winner received scores based on the three pillars of ESG… The analysis is based on data from 30 key performance indicators, such as energy usage and charitable donations, as well as a reputation survey of more than 26,000 U.S. consumers. For the second year in a row, the top spot was awarded to Merck (MRK) with an impressive overall score of 97.83, up from 91.98 last year. Other notable names on this year's list include Adobe (ADBE), PayPal (PYPL) and HP (HPE) .” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Why Sunrun (RUN) Is Among the Best Wind Power and Solar Stocks to Invest in Now Now since this article was featured on Yahoo! Finance, I thought to include it. It's titled Why Sunrun (RUN) Is Among the Best Wind Power and Solar Stocks to Invest in Now. The article is by Mashaid Ahmed. Here are some quotes from it. “While the outcome of the US election and the anticipated policies of the new administration pose short-term challenges to renewable energy, the long-term outlook remains cautiously optimistic. Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:RUN) Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 43   Sunrun is a leading provider of residential solar energy solutions, offering solar installations, battery storage, and energy services. The company specializes in customized solar systems for homeowners and has over 1 million customers. Sunrun also offers products on leasing and financing options… The company has signed a multi-year exclusive agreement with Toll Brothers in California and expects its new home business to grow at least 50% over the next year… The company has 16 grid service programs active across the country, with over 20,000 storage systems participating, and is working with utilities and other partners to develop new programs and services… Overall, Sunrun ranks 5th on our list of best wind power and stocks to invest in now.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Top Sustainable REITS, EV Companies, and More (2) And now to this article titled 7 Best EV Stocks to Buy for 2025. It's by Jeff Reeves, reviewed by John Divine, and found at money.usnews.com. Now some quotes from the article. “An analysis by Gartner estimates that the number of EV Companies in use will grow 33% in 2025 to bring the total number of electric cars and trucks to 85 million in total. That figure will be primarily thanks to brisk adoption rates in China (58% growth) and Europe (24% growth), which together are projected to represent 82% of the total EV market next year, according to Gartner. For investors who want to cash in on EV stocks and the rise of electric vehicles, it's critical to look beyond the usual suspects in the U.S. and take a truly global approach to the industry. With that in mind, some of the hottest EV stocks to buy for 2025 include: 1. Tesla Inc. (TSLA) Market value: $1.2 trillion Tesla has a huge chunk of the marketplace, with predictions of nearly 1.8 million vehicle deliveries across all of 2024. What's more, strong momentum after Election Day, thanks to Musk's close associations with President-elect Donald Trump, has pushed Tesla stock up about 50% on the year even as other electric vehicle stocks have struggled… Tesla remains the go-to EV stock for many investors as we enter 2025. 2. BYD Co. Ltd. (BYDDY) Market value: $106 billion Chinese firm BYD is… the top electric vehicle manufacturer in the world… currently selling more than 500,000 ‘new energy vehicles' per month – a potential pace of 6 million annually going forward… the local appeal of this Chinese company amid the uncertainty around tariffs and trade policies all but ensures this home-grown EV stock will thrive in China across 2025 as regional demand remains strong. 3. Volkswagen AG (VWAGY) Market value: $43 billion Volkswagen remains the largest vehicle manufacturer on the planet and has the same local appeal in Europe that BYD might have in China amid the current talk of trade wars. EV Companies are a modest share of total output… In October, the firm reported battery electric vehicles (not hybrids) topped 500,000 units across the first three quarters of 2024. That puts it on pace for nearly 700,000 vehicles on the full year – and with goals of fully electrifying its fleet by 2030, Volkswagen is definitely an EV stock to watch. 4. Li Auto Inc. (LI) Market value: $24 billion Much smaller than these other firms and currently bleeding cash as it invests aggressively in growth, Li Auto is nevertheless a top EV stock to watch because of its tremendous growth path. It delivered 48,740 vehicles in November 2024, up 18.8% year over year, and is currently on pace to top 500,000 units on the year… A big reason for that is because of its premium appeal, with its Li AD Max accounting for more than 80% of orders for models in China priced above roughly $55,000. Admittedly, shares of LI stock have struggled in 2024 but these sales figures are incredibly encouraging for investors who aren't afraid of taking on a bit more risk to invest in an upstart EV stock versus an established leader. 5. Nio Inc. (NIO) Market value: $10 billion Another junior EV stock operating deep in the red, Nio is putting up impressive growth metrics even if its share performance hasn't been grand in 2024… Nio delivered a record 61,855 units in the third quarter and estimates it will have as many as 75,000 EV deliveries in the fourth quarter. That pace of 300,000 units annually doesn't seem like much compared with other firms, but considering the firm delivered about half that total in 2023 there is a lot to like about where the firm is headed. What's more, like BYD and Li, this is a Chinese firm with local appeal in the fastest-growing market for EV Companies on the planet. That gives it an added tailwind that some Western EV stocks may lack in 2025. 6. Albemarle Corp. (ALB) Market value: $12 billion The company is one of the leading lithium miners globally, with production capacity of 225,000 metric tons and plans to roughly triple capacity by 2030. Supply chain challenges for lithium are tricky, and trade policies could make the situation even more complex in 2025. But as a commodity stock that profits in part based on broader market-wide pricing trends, any shortages or supply bottlenecks will naturally boost lithium prices if things don't go well – and that will naturally benefit Albemarle's bottom line as a result. 7. ChargePoint Holdings Inc. (CHPT) Market value: $600 million ChargePoint is the largest electric vehicle charging company in the United States, with more charging ports and locations than any other network. Specifically, ChargePoint boasts 70,000 plugs at nearly 39,000 stations. In fact, more than 4 in 10 charging ports nationwide are operated by ChargePoint. The company is small and currently unprofitable, so it definitely carries a level of risk, but investors who aren't keen on putting money behind firms headquartered in Beijing or Shanghai may find this closer-to-home play a bit more palatable.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Article of Interest 1.

Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist for Charles Schwab and Co. says that investors should be hoping that the medicine necessary to help a weaker economy reduce the inflationary fever would be best taken sooner than later, leading to 'a much more meaningful deterioration of the economy ... that sets up a Fed pause.' With that in mind, Sonders expects more short-term market pain, setting up a recovery and better opportunities beyond that. David Trainer of New Constructs puts Digital Realty Trust back into the Danger Zone this week, noting that while the stock is already down significantly, it could drop another 75 percent before he thinks the market price will reflect the company's true value.

John Bonnanzio, editor at Fidelity Monitor & Insight, says investors need to be as cautious as possible right now, focusing in on their investment time horizon so that they can ride out the potential downturns on the table in the short- and intermediate-term as the market sorts out the high-inflationary environment. Bonnanzio notes that investors with long time frames may want to consider how some of Fidelity's biggest-name large-cap funds are already in bear market territory, which actually has them priced relatively cheap and poised for a profitable bounce-back once the market sorts current conditions out. Also ont he show, David Trainer of New Constructs puts two stocks in the same industry - Equinix and Digital Realty Trust -- into the Danger Zone, and Larry Swedroe of Buckingham Wealth Partners discusses his latest book, "Your Essential Guide to Sustainable Investing."

Excited to share with you a few stories from Chris Downie on his professional experience growing into the data center industry. His unique perspective as the CEO of both Telx during the acquisition by Digital Realty Trust in 2015 and Peak10 during their acquisition of Viawest in 2017 (now Flexential) makes this interview extremely powerful. We also touch on what steps Flexential has taken to address concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic, what a day in the life of a CEO of a data center company looks like and some important lessons he's learned over the years.

By Adam Turteltaub adam.turteltaub@corporatecompliance.org The US Supreme Court’s Digital Realty Trust decision has been a cause of concern within the compliance community.  In that the case the court found that the Dodd-Frank whistleblower protection provisions do not apply in instances where the whistleblower does not report the allegation to the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). To better understand what this case means we sat down with Sean X. McKessy, a partner at the law firm Phillips and Cohen and the former Chief of the SEC Whistleblower Office.  As he explains in this podcast, the ruling was shocking to many.  It puts employees considering reporting an issue into a more difficult position since they may potentially lose protections if they only report internally.  That will likely increase the likelihood of them taking their concerns directly to the government and, potentially, bypassing internal channels. As a result, he argues, it is now more important than ever for compliance teams, and the organization as a whole, to underscore that even if the law does not promise protection against retaliation, the institution does. Listen in to learn more about what the decision means and what compliance teams can due to help their own internal reporting efforts.

1. Sarah Hadden considers the behavioral side of ethics and how this needs to be incorporated more fully into a compliance regime.  Sarah shouts out to the University of Texas, McCombs School of Business (Hook ‘Em) and its online video series entitled Ethics Unwrapped.   2. Matt Kelly considers the current state of whistleblower programs. He asks if corporate legal departments will support the fix to Dodd- Frank after the Digital Realty Trust ruling?

There are a lot of real estate details in their relationships with their customers, however, the service level obligations they offer would not be found in a typical real estate firm.“What we provide is a secure space, and we provide access to power.

Host Dan Loney speaks with Joseph Sirbak, Labor Attorney at Cozen O'Connor, to discuss his views on this case and how qualifying as a ‘whistleblower’ is hard to define on Knowledge@Wharton.

On February 21, 2018, the Supreme Court decided Digital Realty Trust v. Somers. Among other things, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) endeavors to protect “whistleblowers,” who are defined as persons who provide “information relating to a violation of the securities to the [U.S. Securities and Exchange] Commission.” Employers are liable for discharging, harassing, or otherwise discriminating against a whistleblower “because of any lawful act done by the whistleblower” with respect to (1) “providing information to the Commission in accordance with [securities laws],” (2) “initiating, testifying in, or assisting in any investigation or … action of the Commission based upon” information provided to the Commission in accordance with securities laws, or (3) “making disclosures that are required or protected under” various statutes and regulations.In 2014, then-Vice President of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. Paul Somers reported to his senior management that he suspected securities-law violations by the company. He was subsequently terminated. Prior to his termination, Somers had expressed his concerns internally only and not to the Securities and Exchange Commission. He sued Digital Realty Trust in federal district court, alleging unlawful whistleblower retaliation under Dodd-Frank. Digital Realty moved to dismiss the case, arguing that Somers did not qualify as a whistleblower because he had not reported his suspicions to the Commission. The district court rejected that argument and a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed, concluding that whistleblower protection can extend to persons who have not actually reported suspected violations to the Commission. This decision aggravated a split in the federal circuit courts of appeals on the issue, and the Supreme Court granted certiorari to resolve the conflict.By a vote of 9-0 the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case. In an opinion delivered by Justice Ginsburg, the Court held that Dodd-Frank’s anti-retaliation whistleblower protection does not extend to an individual who has not reported a violation of securities laws to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Justice Ginsburg’s majority opinion was joined by the Chief Justice and Justices Kennedy, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Justice Sotomayor filed a concurring opinion, which was joined by Justice Breyer. Justice Thomas filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment, which was joined by Justices Alito and Gorsuch. To discuss the case, we have Todd Braunstein, Global Head of Legal Investigations at Willis Towers Watson.
