HIP Defined

HIP = Human Impact + Profit

Our world of 6+ billion people faces many human problems needing solutions, many of which can be served by companies.  By solving these human needs profitably through products and services (from Walmart’s $4 generic drug program to ICICI Bank’s micro-loans to Vestas’s wind turbines), a company can benefit customers, inspire employees, engage suppliers – and deliver sustainable profitable growth for its investors.

Building a HIP Portfolio that solves problems in Health, Wealth, Earth, Equality and Trust is a driver for attractive long-term financial performance.  Today, one of nine investment dollars seeks “human impact� as well as profit.  And Goldman Sachs has shown out-performance by HIP-like publicly-listed companies.

The HIP Scorecard tool enables companies to identify the innovations that will serve customer needs profitably while improving society. At the same time, investors applying the HIP methodology have the opportunity to both “do good� and “make money.�
