Our Research Approach
We approach green investing with the same analytical rigor we apply to all investment research. This means looking beyond marketing claims to understand actual business fundamentals, competitive positioning, and realistic growth potential.
Environmental impact is important, but so is financial viability. We research companies and projects that demonstrate both sustainable practices and sound business models, avoiding those that rely primarily on subsidies or unrealistic projections.
Our focus is on learning, documenting our research, and making informed decisions rather than chasing trends or making promises about outsized returns.
ESG Investment Considerations
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are increasingly relevant in investment analysis. Here's how we think about them.
Environmental
- Carbon footprint and emissions
- Resource efficiency and waste
- Environmental regulations compliance
- Climate-related business risks
Social
- Labor practices and conditions
- Community impact and relations
- Product safety and quality
- Diversity and inclusion
Governance
- Board structure and independence
- Executive compensation alignment
- Shareholder rights and transparency
- Business ethics and accountability
Our Honest Take
Green investing is an area we're researching and learning about, not one where we claim special expertise. The sector is evolving rapidly, with genuine innovation alongside plenty of greenwashing and overhyped companies.
We believe environmental considerations matter both ethically and financially. Climate change and resource scarcity are real risks that will affect business performance. Companies addressing these challenges thoughtfully may have competitive advantages.
That said, we approach "green" labels with skepticism. Many companies market themselves as sustainable while their actual environmental impact is minimal or questionable. We focus on understanding real business practices, not marketing narratives.
If you're interested in sustainable investing, we're happy to discuss what we've learned and explore opportunities together. We won't promise that green investments will outperform traditional ones, but we can research them with the same transparency and rigor we apply to everything else.
