HIP Science-Based Targets: Climate Action
DXT Technologies has a goal to reduce emissions by 65% by 2030
-- and are nearly fully reduced to the target level earlier than expected
Capgemini has a goal to reduce their emission by 80% by 2030
-- and are over halfway to meeting that reduction target in 3 years
Hitachi has a goal to reduce their emissions by 100% by 2030
-- and currently well ahead of their target
In aggregate, large corporate emitters of pollution and greenhouse gases (GHGs) are not doing enough to transform their business model, but 756 ambitious companies are leading the way to a net-zero emissions economy, boosting innovation and driving sustainable growth by setting ambitious, science-based emissions reduction targets.
More than 200 of these are tradable in the USA -- and HIP regularly allocates to the best performing 50 companies.
INVEST in the HIP Science Based Targets: Climate Action Portfolio -- with a 6 year track record as of August 8th -- that seeks to deliver the potential for higher returns, reduced pollution, and pursues climate action, as well as net-positive human, social and environmental impacts.
This multi-cap equity portfolio ranks the 200+ US-tradeable firms that have registered a goal for reducing their emissions with the Science-Based Targets Initiative, making progress towards those goals, and show strong sustainability (ESG) performance, as evidenced by the data-driven HIP Ratings.
Science Based Targets leaders are making real measurable progress towards their emissions reductions goals and will be much better prepared as climate progress moves from being encouraged to potentially mandated.
Developed with inputs from both CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) and The Science Based Targets initiative, this basket of about 50 equities focuses on companies that will be much better prepared for a climate future.
Fewer GHG emissions are critical to climate action. GHGs comprise Internal Usage (scope 1), Energy Purchases (scope 2) and Customer Usage (scope 3).
HIP SCBT has a 22% lower Scope 1 and 2 GHG intensity than its benchmark
The HIP Science Based Targets portfolio invests in companies with clear targets and extensive analysis into the Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions.
HIP Science Based Targets holdings are more transparent: 100% of holdings are reporting Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.
As additional transparency and action are increasingly market driven, and as companies with science based targets approach their goals, HIP expects the scope 3 emissions of SCBT holdings to come down over time.
