“Not going with a top tier name would be counterproductive. This shows how serious we are about ESG; it is a priority for us as the driver behind ESG investing and crypto mining intersect with the millennial generation, thus both are far from mature. ESG plays a very important role, because not only it educates investors about idiosyncratic risks, but it pressures companies at the management level to adopt changes if they want to attract ESG centric investment in their capital structures. Our goal is to become a core constituent of ESG focused ETFs, funds and benchmarks, which highlights how shareholder centric we are.”
