Pioneering US Climate Investment Firm Among
Top-Ranked Companies in Finance
Hannon Armstrong (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in climate
solutions, today announced that it has been named to Fast Company’s
prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies
for 2022, achieving the number four ranking in the finance
category. The World’s Most Innovative Companies list honors
businesses that are making the biggest impact on their industries
and culture as a whole—ultimately thriving in today’s ever-changing
world.
“We are honored to be selected as one of the Most Innovative
Companies in the World for our unique vision and impact in the
climate solutions market,” said Jeffrey W. Eckel, Hannon Armstrong
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Investing solely in climate
solutions and measuring the efficiency of those investments in
reducing carbon has been our unwavering focus to drive a climate
positive future.”
Hannon Armstrong was awarded for its pioneering investment
thesis and steadfast commitment to decarbonization as “one of the
largest and most established climate investors.” Fast Company’s
editors also noted that “long before climate tech came into vogue,
the firm has been backing projects in solar, wind, and other
elements of green infrastructure that will reduce carbon emissions
and increase resilience to climate change.”
The award caps off a year of continuous innovation, business
success, and decarbonization impact for Hannon Armstrong, with the
company investing over $1.7 billion in climate solutions in 2021.
Nearly 6 million cumulative metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions
are avoided annually through the firm’s investments—the equivalent
to eliminating emissions from approximately 700,000 average U.S.
homes every year.
The esteemed recognition from Fast Company follows several other
recent Hannon Armstrong awards, including the 2021 Corporate
Governance Award for Best ESG Reporting (small to mid-cap) from
Corporate Secretary, the 2021 ESG Award – Environment from
IJGlobal, and inclusion on the Real Leaders® Top Impact Companies
List for 2022 and 2021.
“The world’s most innovative companies play an essential role in
addressing the most pressing issues facing society, whether they’re
fighting climate change by spurring decarbonization efforts,
ameliorating the strain on supply chains, or helping us reconnect
with one another over shared passions,” said Fast Company Deputy
Editor David Lidsky.
Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue (March/April
2022) is available online here, as well as in-app form via iTunes,
and on newsstands beginning March 15. The hashtag is
#FCMostInnovative.
