Our aim is to create of a world class multi-assets exchange based in Europe aimed at financing companies on their green, sustainable, social, and governance journey to make their financial returns yield an impact. Assets and their owners will undergo a certification and lifecycle tracking process using blockchain technology to improve the investors’ trust in the quality of the assets and their ESG credentials. Although the impetus towards embedding the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors in asset management and the broader financial services is undeniable, we put forward that a quagmire of standards, competing interests between preserving the rights to pollute and funding the paths to decarbonisation are not making the investment journey any easier. More than ever, end investors, have to trust the data published by the issuer or their financial intermediary that invests on their behalf in ESG assets, to do the right things and do things right without any real insights or common standards that may help them with their investment decision.

Transparency of Sustainable Investments, through verified data and governance
The solution explained
The key success factors are the accessibility and transparency of ESG finance through strong governance. Investments should not be simply viewed as financial but the sum of Finance + Governance + Environmental + Social impact.
The automation of the product lifecycle brings efficiency, and transparency by using blockchain.
We make the cost of capital lower for ESG instruments and ensure that the innovation of sustainable and impact investments can leverage the blockchain technology.
