I am a new member of this forum, and have been trying to do some research to identify a “green” basis of stock identification. The intent is to identify companies which operate in avenues that will benefit from the growing focus on environmental issues (Which some may debate that this is actually getting lesser focus as “Ease of doing business” drives lesser norms in environmental laws). Despite that, i’d like to hear from other members on this topic.
I have identified the following industries (And done some minor investment for purposes of tracking) in:
Plastic alternatives (like Jute)
Green energy : Hydel and Wind, I cannot find a good solar (or allied component) pick; Hydel and wind do have other environmental repurcusions, solar would be the better bet esp. in India
I have a fairly green portfolio with these stocks - Suzlon Energy (Wind power), Ujaas Energy (Solar power), VA Tech Wabag (water treatment), Cerebra Integrated Technologies (e-Waste). Picked all of them cheap at the bottom of the curve last year.
Green stocks need the regulatory push to become attractive…
Cerebra Integrated (e-waste)…tracking position
Yash Papers - bio-degradable eating ware range
Vikas Ecotech (lead free pipes)…let go with losses post q4fy18 results
Cheviat company. This is a company working in space of Jute. It was known as kanoria jute mill in my childhood days and it was in bad condition in some point of time. But now recovered and cash rich. People can study this company if interested in jute sector. Vijay Kedia has some stake in this stock.
