Great coverage of GIX’s Form 1 notice publication in The TRADE News Green Impact Exchange CEO and Co-Founder Daniel Labovitz spoke with Claudia Preece about how companies can dual-list and be recognized on GIX without giving up their primary listing exchange. “Voluntarily taking on a dual listing matters. It says something about the integrity of the company and the character of its leadership that they’re willing to do this, create value in the long term, and be held accountable for it,” said Labovitz. As part of today’s announcement, GIX advisor Shiva Rajgopal commented, “There needs to be better transparency and accountability of sustainability initiatives and reporting. GIX will provide that.”

In the news… Kudos to GIX Chief Strategy Officer Alex Kontoleon on his article in IR Magazine. As Alex notes (with due apologies to Oliver Stone), “The point is…green, for lack of a better word, is good. Green is right. Green works. Dual-listing on a green-focused [stock] exchange makes environmental commitments credible. It clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the corporate evolutionary spirit...“ Click the link below to read more of Alex’s thoughts on sustainability and listing standards. #sustainabilty #sustainablefinance #esg #thoughtleadership #green #corporategovernance #exchanges

Green Impact Exchange was proud to be a partner for another excellent IR Magazine ESG Integration Forum in New York City. As always Ian Richman and his team put together a series of informative discussions (moderated by Steven Wade and Ben Maiden) with knowledgeable, engaging panelists who delivered their unique insights about the complex evolving world of IR and Sustainability. GIX CEO Daniel Labovitz spoke on a panel about how effective green governance requires the board to be organized, trained, and informed in a way that allows them to work collaboratively toward environmental goals, as well as how to integrate risk oversight into board practices and the organization as a whole. https://lnkd.in/d2xrrRY We're already looking forward to the next one!

Yesterday the Green Impact Exchange celebrated #Juneteenth with recognition of Dr. George Washington Carver and his contributions to promoting environmentalism and sustainability in the field of agriculture during his lifetime. Dr. Carver was an American agricultural scientist and inventor who promoted alternative crops and methods to prevent soil depletion. He was one of the most prominent black environmentally focused scientists of the early 20th century. During his more than four decades at the Tuskegee University Institute, Dr. Carver's official published work consisted mainly of 44 practical bulletins for farmers. His first bulletin in 1898 was on feeding acorns to farm animals. Dr. Carver is often mistakenly credited with the invention of peanut butter, possibly because he published "How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it For Human Consumption" in the early 1900's. In 1977, Dr. Carver was elected to the Hall of Fame for Great Americans. In 1990, he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. In 1994, Iowa State University awarded Carver a Doctor of Humane Letters. In 2000, Dr. Carver was a charter inductee in the USDA Hall of Heroes as the "Father of Chemurgy".

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission opened for business 90 years ago today with the mission of restoring investor confidence in the securities market, establishing a unified and well-regulated national market for securities, restoring integrity to securities markets by prosecuting and eliminating fraudulent unsound practices targeting investors, and reigning in insider trading. Over the years has attracted top notch talent in the legal and financial worlds, including two future Supreme Court justices and leaders of some of the biggest firms in finance. Under its watchful eye, the U.S. economy has developed the deepest, most robust, and most liquid capital markets in the world, with high degrees of investor trust and resilience. Happy Birthday, SEC!

Biodiversity is the living fabric of our planet and our existence. Green Impact Exchange recognizes and celebrates International Day for Biodiversity. We encourage people everywhere to increase understanding and awareness of biodiversity issues worldwide. Human wellbeing depends on biodiversity for basic needs, such as food, fuel, shelter and medicine. And a healthy ecosystem provides crucial services such as seed dispersal, pollination, water purification, climate regulation nutrient cycling and agricultural pest control. According to the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services from the IPBES, there are existing solutions to counteract the major global drivers of biodiversity loss such as climate change, invasive species, over-exploitation of natural resources, pollution and urbanization.  It’s not too late to act. On this day, we salute and support all people and organizations that are doing their part to conserve, nourish and protect our rich and plentiful biodiversity around the world.
