Purpose and performance, together.

Okay, let's talk about ESG, Environmental Sustainable governance. Way back, at the beginning of this decade, the United Nations was pushing this regulatory compliance thing to make sure that you know, you're not doing damage, you're not greenwashing, as they say, your business to be able to get tax breaks and funding for your project.

And anyhow, to make a long story short, we did all kinds of work to make all these products at a new energy ESG compliant. So kind of like counting calories when you're gaining too much weight and you need to lose weight so you count carbon calories and a number of other things. So there's social where you're impacting the community and lifting up the community. You're not leaving them behind, you're not going in and taking all the money and the resources. You're doing a lot of things to promote equality and all that.

So we checked, I think it was 13 out of the 17 ESGs, way back when we were writing business plans for ESG compliance. And a lot of that was you had to do that in order to get access to this, green capital. So the Climate Bonds initiative people, you know, they, they need you to, you know, get your, your project ESG certified. Some of that still is relevant.

But what happened at some of the later COPE, conferences, I think it was in Glasgow that the big banks came in and they said, you know what, we provided all this green funding to make the transition to renewable energy and and help fight the climate crisis. But the United Nations was doing a poor job at deploying capital and this ESG thing was kind of binding everything up. And so we still work to comply with this.

And it's kind of our secret sauce that we just are always trying to lift up communities that have been left behind and we do that with raising capital for them and creating a lot of jobs. We believe we can create tens of thousands of jobs with one factory. And they're the new sustainable renewable energy jobs, the new economy.

And so this page that you're on here, talks about the jobs, talks about the governed standards that I was just mentioning, inclusion, how we bring everybody together. We even have a mobile app that teaches kids at an early age about technologies and trade schools and trying to get them to, to work with their hands. Because let's face it, AI is going to come in and take away a lot of these white collar jobs and your college education is going to be not very useful. So we think that the trades are really important.

So we have a whole program within new energy that guys, like me, we've learned how to make things with our hands and program robots and wire up machines that need to get this knowledge out of our heads and into the next generation before we die. And so we do that through the youth. So we're big at, you know, training, you know, everybody. So anyhow, this is a bit about that. And, anyhow, thank you very much for listening. Have a beautiful day. I'm Pat Connor.
