Invest.Green has announced the launch of a new Invitation-Only Membership Program designed to connect companies with current and potential investors regarding environmental information and issues. As a result, both groups are increasing their demand as they seek to capitalise on the financial benefits that superior environmental performance can generate.
Invest.innovative Green’s media and research platform provide member companies with a highly credible, third-party forum to “tell their green stories” to investors. Equally important, it allows the companies to connect with other Members, learn from them, and explore business opportunities with them. In addition, the Invest.Green platform provides investors with valuable, proprietary insights and analysis designed to enhance their ability to identify and manage emerging investment risks. Green Research Bites, interviews with industry leaders, investors, green entrepreneurs, and interactive online investor events can all be found on this website. All the content is created and curated by a research team that has twice been ranked No. 1 worldwide for Green investment research.
Invest.Green is pleased to welcome its Founding Members, Toyota Motor North America and econnext, as it launches its new programme. Toyota is the largest automaker in the world and a leader in environmental performance. econnext is an innovative industrial holding company that brings together some of Europe’s most powerful families and institutional investors to establish, fund and scale promising Cleantech companies. The Invest.Green website profiles the environmental strategies and accomplishments of both Toyota and econnext.
Invest.Green co-founder and Executive Chairman Dr. Matthew Kiernan noted: “Our overall corporate mission is to ‘democratize green investing ‘and increase the overall flow of capital to opportunities which create both environmental and financial benefits. The addition of World-Class companies like Toyota and econnext takes us an important step closer to achieving those objectives.”
Toyota, econnext, and future Members are offered the chance to have a page at Invest.Green devoted to sharing news, insights, and other coverage, as well as links to their respective websites and investor relations resources. Invest.Green will also supply investors with additional content.
Toyota Motor North America group vice president of sustainability regulatory affairs Tom Sticker said: “Toyota’s sustainability goals include leaving no one behind when it comes to affordable, carbon-reducing transportation. Invest.Green’s membership program allows us to find and connect with like-minded organizations and members of the investment community, as well as a platform to share stories that reflect our commitment to work with stakeholders across society in support of a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable future.”
“econnext has built a portfolio of subsidiaries which have the potential to significantly decarbonize every aspect of human life, our shareholders, including Dr. Nathalie von Siemens and Dr. Brigitte Mohn (Siemens and Bertelsmann Media), have funded that vision to date. We are delighted to collaborate with Toyota, Invest.Green and its future members to institutionalize and scale the potential of Green Investing for People, Planet and Profit,” said Michael Schneider, Co-CEO of econnext.
