HSBC Climate Change Index Quarterly Review June 2009

This report from banking giant HSBC highlights the performance of stocks in its climate change indices, and its finding that companies working on energy efficiency and energy management are taking the lion’s share of global stimulus funds.

According to the report, economic stimulus plans the world over are largely responsible for the healthy state of the energy efficiency market: Over 50 percent of all stimulus funds directed toward climate investments to date have gone to EEEM firms, which in HSBC’s analysis equals about US$184 billion.
