Over my 40 year career I have deployed quality criteria to each investment opportunity. This was done to reduce the risk of loss from unforeseen negative surprises. Within this, I would evaluate companies for their environmental stewardship. The best actors had an easier time adapting to regulatory change. They would avoid fines, bad publicity and stakeholder lawsuits. Getting unbiased and comprehensive information from the media, third parties and the companies themselves was uncertain because no one was held to account. Moreover, it was time consuming. Now comes GIX. GIX will make easy for investors to get timely trust worthy information. Companies will be held to truthful or be de-listed. For companies who opt to list on GIX they will have a much more efficient way of getting credit for their actions. I am fully supportive of approval of GIX. I am so impressed with the management team and the business model I have become an Investor in and Advisor to GIX. Investors and publicly traded companies should rejoice over the arrival of GIX.
