SEC Approves First U.S. Green Stock Exchange

While many other countries have had sustainable stock exchanges for several years, the United States was previously shy about supporting regenerative innovations publicly which makes this a late, yet bold move in the global conversation of impact investing. In a landmark decision, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the Green Impact Exchange (GIX), the nation’s first sustainability-focused stock exchange. Set to commence trading in early 2026, GIX aims to provide a dedicated platform for environmentally responsible companies, potentially catalyzing the evolution of sustainable investing in the United States. As you’ll read about in following posts, American investors have been privately investing in sustainable energy, regenerative farming and especially wellness technologies and now, with the U.S. Green Stock Exchange, many more will have the opportunity to support the necessary upgrades to infrastructure, healthcare and other areas of emerging impact solutions. 

El Salvador – Bolsa de Valores de El Salvador (BVES)

With the powerful new leadership of El Salvador, President Bukele’s focus on environmental financing demonstrates a tangible commitment to building the world’s first regenerative country melding ecological restoration, economic innovation, and long-term wellness. 
“We will invest in regenerative agriculture… to help conserve biodiversity, address water scarcity, and promote regenerative agriculture in the Rio Lempa watershed.”
Bukele commenting on reallocating $350 million of savings to watershed conservation and sustainable farming
  • New SSE Partner: BVES joined the UN SSE in August 2023, integrating ESG initiatives into its post-war capital market.
  • Cross-border Integration: BVES has collaborated with Panama and Nicaragua, trading over $460 million in shared securities.
  • Sustainable Outlook: Though early in its ESG journey, BVES’s SSE alignment signals expanding regional commitment to transparency and sustainability.

BNV: More than an Exchange—A National Engine

Empowering Costa Rica: BNV’s Role in Renewing Trust, Infrastructure & Communities
Costa Rica is at a pivotal crossroads: beloved by travelers yet challenged by aging roads, over-tourism, and systems that have sometimes failed expats and locals pursuing dreams of sustainable living. The Bolsa Nacional de Valores (BNV) is emerging as a powerful catalyst for systemic change if strategic leadership backs it with vision and transparency.
Since joining the UN Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative in 2018, BNV has positioned itself to:
Channel capital into infrastructure: By listing green bonds and sustainability-focused vehicles, BNV enables investors—both domestic and international—to fund critical public works.
Drive transparency and governance: Mandatory ESG disclosure helps curb corruption and simplifies due diligence for foreign investors.
Align local development with global standards: Adopting international reporting and oversight enhances Costa Rica’s reputation for responsible investing.
