« Back to Glossary

Green technology, or “green tech,” refers to innovations, processes, and products that aim to reduce or mitigate the negative impacts of human activity on the environment. For institutional investors, green tech represents an investment opportunity in companies and industries that are focused on fostering sustainable development, resource conservation, and ecological responsibility.

Some key areas of green tech include renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal), energy efficiency (smart grids, LED lighting, energy storage), waste management (recycling, composting), clean transportation (electric vehicles, mass transit systems), sustainable agriculture, and green building practices (energy-efficient buildings, sustainable materials).

Investing in green tech is increasingly seen as both a responsible and profitable choice, as it aligns with global efforts to combat climate change, adhere to regulatory frameworks, and meet the growing demand for eco-friendly products and services. Green tech investments can offer portfolio diversification, long-term growth potential, and positive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) outcomes.
