Written by Zach Stein | Sep 27, 2020 2:45:00 PM

Here’s the complete list of all the battery companies’ stock that’s listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of 09/23/20. Specifically, these are the companies whose products are being used in climate change solutions. 

We put it together at Carbon Collective because we wanted a way to invest in all of the companies building solutions to climate change. From renewable energy stocks, to LEDs stocks, to recycling stocks

For humanity to stop climate change, we need to run far more society with electricity rather than combustion engines. This means we’re going to need a lot more batteries. According to Project Drawdown, each of the following has the potential to reduce global carbon emission significantly.  

Disclaimer: We had trouble finding all of these stocks in one place online. So, we built the following list. We’re publishing it purely for informational purposes and not a recommendation to buy or sell.

About Carbon Collective:

We built Carbon Collective after we couldn’t find the right place to invest our retirement savings that made both ethical and financial sense in the age of climate change. 

So we built the first series of climate-friendly, diversified, low-fee investment portfolios and teamed up with a world class online brokerage platform to automatically manage them.

Imagine an index fund in a world without fossil fuels. That’s how we build our portfolios. We swap the high-carbon parts of the stock market (fossil fuels, dirty utilities, airlines, etc.) with the companies building solutions to climate change (renewable energy, circular economy, energy efficiency, etc.). 

Checkout their historical performance, carbon footprint, and fees compared to common standard and ethical portfolios.
