Here’s our list of the best utility stocks for fighting climate change that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of 09/23/20.

About Carbon Collective:
We built Carbon Collective because we couldn’t find anywhere to invest our retirement savings that made both ethical and financial sense in the age of climate change.
So we built the world’s 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 replace 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.
