A social business is a business that makes a profit, but benefits society as well. We have a triple bottom line (economic + social + environmental).<BR/><BR/>Since all the listed companies on the exchange are pre-screened, evaluated, and audited according to social and sustainable guidelines set by the exchange, it will make it much easier for green investors to find and support social businesses. The GREENSX provides opportunities for small green Issuers to access public equity capital efficiently, while providing early stage investors, angel investors, and venture capitalists with greater liquidity. <BR/><BR/>This includes a eBAY.com trading system for carbon credits.<BR/><BR/>It is still in the beta stage testing.
