Regenerative approaches

For businesses who claim to care about climate change: the planet’s issues won’t be solved by “sustaining” anything.

Provenance Capital Group (PCG), co-founded by Adrian Rodrigues, has a mission to drive investment into what it calls “regenerative”, rather than sustainable, businesses. Most of its work to date has been in the agricultural industry, with companies like World Tree, a renewable timber and agroforestry company, and White Leaf Provisions, a family-run organic food brand.

When asked how quickly he thinks regenerative approaches will become mainstream, Rodrigues is hopeful. He highlights that the millennial generation is projected to inherit an estimated $41 trillion, and nearly 100 million acres of land, from the baby boomer generation over the next four decades. This is the most cumulative wealth and land that has ever changed hands in history.

Rodrigues has faith that the millennial generation will be less focused on return optimization, and that there will be a greater emphasis on what their investments are doing from a social and environmental standpoint.

Public awareness is growing for regenerative agriculture, yet it remains tough to get funding into the space due to a persistent and heavy emphasis on conventional agriculture. Giving farmers access to financing has been a crucial aim for Rodrigues and Provenance Capital Group.

“We’re on the cusp of some pretty large trends that give us a ripe opportunity to change the way that we interact with our food system (…) So I am hopeful. But we can’t rest on inertia and just expect it to happen. We should all be working with a sense of urgency”, said Adrian Rodrigues.

Is Sustainability the Right Goal for Businesses?

Green Stock Exchange Focused On ESG Seeks Path to Wall Street

Public firms to be required to meet ESG requirements or delist
GIX is seeking regulatory approval, expects to go live in 2023

Wall Street may soon see a new stock exchange exclusively for environmentally focused companies amid a boom in demand for sustainable investments.

Green Exchange PBC is seeking regulatory approval to operate an exchange that allows investors to trade equities with a demonstrated commitment to ESG, according to executives. The Green Impact Exchange, GIX, would require public companies to show and stick to their ESG efforts, according to GIX Chief Executive Officer Daniel Labovitz.

.

“We are looking at how company’s govern themselves so green thinking isn’t just an afterthought, but threaded through their decision making from the very beginning, part of their core DNA,” Labovitz said in an interview.

Investments with stated environmental, social and governance aims are an increasing area of focus for corporate America as companies and investors look to preserve natural resources across the globe amid mounting political pressure. Some metrics used in determining the investments have been criticized for being hard to quantify, and at times with scant penalty when targets fall short.

GIX will enforce green-listing standards for companies, Labovitz said.

“If you don’t do what is required you are delisted, which is a reportable, public event,” he said. “If you are not adhering to the standards, there is a penalty.”

Corporations that are registered on other stock exchanges, including Nasdaq Inc. and the New York Stock Exchange, can choose to dual-list. They don’t have to choose one exchange or the other.

Like other major US equities exchanges, the new trading platform will allow investors to buy and sell equities, but only those with a specific ESG focus. GIX is expected to go live in 2023 upon approval with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Labovitz said. Talks with the SEC are underway.

To help define ESG, other companies have added tools for certain investment goals. Last year, the NYSE developed a class of publicly traded assets tied to services that are beneficial to the environment. It also joined with workplace-equity platform Syndio to help measure pay and opportunity gaps.

Investors have no shortage of exchange businesses to choose from. Nasdaq, Cboe Global Markets, and Intercontinental Exchange Inc.’s NYSE division each run multiple public exchanges, and there are dozens of private markets that operate inside banks. A new entrant will need sufficient investor interest to guarantee success. Already, with 16 equity exchanges, the competition for volume is fierce.

This would also be the first new exchange to register in the last two years, after MEMX, the Long-Term Stock Exchange and Miax Pearl got approval in 2020, according to filings with the SEC.

GIX’s founders hail from the NYSE, including Labovitz, who was previously in charge of writing regulatory policy, and Louis Pastina, former executive vice president in charge of operations at the exchange. James Buckley, regulation and compliance head at GIX, was former head of compliance at NYSE, according to the firm’s website.

Ethereum | Merge is coming

Merge a historic week

.

“”What’s the big deal about the Merge?

.

There’s a popular misconception that the Merge helps Ethereum run faster, or reduces gas fees. Not exactly.

.

That job is largely left to Layer 2 chains like Arbitrum, Optimism and Starknet that run on top of Ethereum.

The real significance of the Merge lies in the shift in consensus mechanisms.

The switch from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanisms will dramatically decrease the carbon footprint of running the blockchain by ~99.5%.

.

This historic moment is lined up with a week full of live and virtual events.
