Problem
Current economic systems often fail to account for the intrinsic value of nature, leading to environmental degradation, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Philanthropic and policy efforts have been insufficient to address these challenges at the required scale, resulting in a significant financing gap for biodiversity and climate change initiatives.
Solution
Intrinsic Exchange Group (IEG) addresses this gap by developing Natural Asset Companies (NACs), a new class of equity securities that incorporate the economic value of natural assets and ecosystem services. NACs enable market-based investments in the protection and restoration of natural resources, aligning the interests of natural asset owners, investors, and communities. By valuing nature's productivity, IEG facilitates direct investment in conserving and restoring vital natural infrastructure, promoting a sustainable and resilient economy.
Target Audience
IEG's primary audience includes natural asset owners (e.g., landowners, governments), investors seeking nature-positive investments, corporations aiming for sustainable supply chains, and communities benefiting from healthy ecosystems.
