The 11th cohort of global Clean200 leaves dirty energy investments in the dust, outperforming them by 39%\u00a0\u00a0<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"Carbon<\/a>As You Sow and Corporate Knights recently released their 11th update of the <\/span>Carbon Clean200\u2122<\/span><\/a>, a list of 200 publicly traded companies worldwide leading the way among global peers to a clean energy present and future. These companies generated almost double the returns of the main fossil fuel index from July 1, 2016, to January 15, 2024, despite geopolitical tensions that have favored fossil fuel stocks in the past two years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The top 10 companies on the list by revenue include Apple, Contemporary Amperex Technology, Tesla, TSMC, and HP. Thirty-five countries are represented in the Clean200, including the U.S. (39), China (23), Japan (18), France (13), and Brazil, Canada, and Germany (10 each).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
