In light of the recent presidential election, we at GIX wanted to share our view on the potential implications for the future of sustainability. The U.S. is set to shift away from a climate policy that relies on government regulation to one that favors private innovation driven by market forces. GIX firmly agrees with the sentiment that the private sector is uniquely positioned to support U.S. corporate leadership and propel innovation in the green economy. With our voluntary, dual listing solution, GIX looks forward to supporting capital formation for U.S. companies with our free market approach. After talking to executives at hundreds of public companies, GIX maintains our view that a corporate focus on sustainability remains a critical strategic component of long-term financial success regardless of the direction of U.S. climate policy. Companies that commit to sustainable strategies position themselves to attract those investment dollars, capitalize on new economic opportunities, and appeal to younger generations of employees and customers. Currently, all investors face the challenge of identifying which companies are committed to becoming sustainable and which are merely virtue signaling and greenwashing. GIX will use our listing standards to bring needed transparency to sustainable commitments, allowing investors and companies to focus on the drivers of long-term value in coming years. GIX aims to do for sustainability what Nasdaq did for technology. GIX will enable investors to find the leaders and innovators who will anchor the new green economy. Our innovative platform will bridge the gap between companies with authentic sustainability commitments and environmentally focused investors by fostering transparency, accountability, and trust. Regardless of the political climate, GIX will ensure our dual listed companies are serious about their global climate initiatives and responsibilities to benefit shareholders and consumers alike. Under a new political regime, the future will be different but some things will remain the same. The value that a genuine sustainability focus brings to a company is one of those stalwart features. GIX looks forward to continuing our mission and commitment to help tomorrow’s blue chips be green.

This is an excellent encapsulation of what GIX represents. Having participated in most of GIX's meetings with corporate executives, including CFOs, CSOs, IR, and Counsel, they continue to move forward with their sustainability initiatives, acknowledging that those policies contribute positively to their bottom line.
