Three companies that are building a better world

Professional investor Rupert Welchman of Union Bancaire Privée picks three stocks that are making a positive impact on the world.

How we live our lives and how we choose to invest our savings have typically been worlds apart. Happily, it has recently become possible to bring these two elements much closer together. There’s a growing number of listed companies that are working hard to understand their place in the world beyond simply generating profit.

Business leaders have a better chance of building strong foundations for equity returns when they understand that they can only deliver sustainable profits in the long term by respecting the environment in which they operate and the people their organisations affect. Positive impact as an investment strategy builds on this growing corporate self-awareness by championing companies that provide fixes to problems that will cost the planet more dearly in the future if left unattended.
