We are inundated with negative news daily, but amidst this sea of despair, stories of hope shine through. Today, I came across an article highlighting the positive impact of dam removals on fisheries and Native American communities. The Klamath River, once teeming with salmon, is on the path to restoration, offering a beacon of hope for the future. During my 40 years as a fly fisherman, I have found solace in the tranquility of nature, away from the chaos of the NYSE trading floor. The therapeutic moments spent perfecting my cast in a serene river hold a special place in my heart. In fact, I asked my wife to marry me while fishing in my favorite spot, underscoring the profound significance of this hobby in my life. The removal of dams not only aids in the recovery of fish populations but also contributes to the overall health of river ecosystems. It symbolizes a step towards a more sustainable and harmonious environment, fostering optimism for a brighter tomorrow. Projects like dam removals rejuvenate our rivers, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise tumultuous world. https://lnkd.in/e7Nn7tWi #PositiveNews #EnvironmentalConservation #RiverRestoration #HopefulFuture

Helping leaders committed to a free and prosperous future scale their businesses to scale their impact through: angel/venture investing, revenue operations, talent, events, connections, and more
Here's a startup you need to know about... The Green Impact Exchange (GIX) is a new listing and trading venue for the securities of companies that commit to good green governance. In other words, their corporate governance is focused on a sustainable future. Companies looking to highlight their sustainability efforts can dual-list on GIX to attract the massive amount of capital earmarked for investments for sustainability initiatives and goals. Importantly, GIX also verifies that each company's behaviors are consistent with green values and their vision for a green future which allows investors to invest with confidence. This is a great example of voluntary choice for self-regulation. Companies opt-in because it fits their values and it benefits not only their company, but also hopefully the world as well.

In the News: Check out the recent article in Global Finance Magazine by Anthony N.oto who interviews Green Impact Exchange CEO Daniel Labovitz to learn more about how GIX benefits companies, benefits investors, and possible next steps once the exchange is up and running. "If management isn’t thinking about the impact of climate change on their business models and aren’t planning for how to take advantage of opportunities and avoid the pitfalls that arise out of the green economy, then they’re not positioning the company for long-term growth and stability. Getting to that point, however, can be challenging. It requires companies to rethink how they govern themselves to ensure that sustainability is considered a matter of course in any decision."

Ask yourself: Do today's leaders have the toolkit they need to make the best decisions to ensure their institutions are resilient and adaptable to climate change? When is the 'best time' to make a decision? What is the significance of materiality in decision-making? Where do climate considerations belong in a materiality matrix? Learn about an approach and framework that can benefit all types of institutions from Green Impact Exchange Chief Strategy Officer Alex Kontoleon and CEO Daniel Labovitz in their article "Materiality in the Long Now: Navigating the Intersection of Decision-Making, Time, and Strategy," published in the recent issue of the Dickinson Law Review. https://lnkd.in/eSXAnTbk

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.”
