I had lunch today with my friend R. Paul Herman, founder of very cool investment concept and company called HIP Investor.  HIP stands for Human Impact + Profit. They’ve created a new index called the HIP 100 Index (TM) and it uses a completely new method for evaluating corporate profit and sustainability.  This is such innovative stuff and a great way to measure your investment impact. Paul has a new book coming out in April this year called The HIP Investor, Making Bigger Profits, by Building a Better World (you can pre-order on Amazon). Keep an eye out for this one!
