While the focus today is on greenhouse gas reductions, there are many more emerging
and maturing environmental financial markets that are often overlooked by investors. We
believe that the new compliance driven EPA and other federal regulatory agencies will
actually unlock the value of other environmental financial markets and represent new
opportunities for investors to protect the environment. It is important that as business
metrics begin to permeate socially responsible investment it will make increased sense by
non-profits to start considering market-driven solutions, not only to do good but also to
continue their own financial sustainability in today's new economic environment.
