Corporate and M&A partner Jason van Grieken, together with Mahsa Taiebi, lawyer, and Kaitlin Bakken, law graduate, advised the CEFC on the investment. The additional capital will facilitate the expansion of the Xpansiv platform to develop, register, transact and price ESG commodities through organic growth initiatives and strategic acquisitions.
CEFC Chief Executive Officer Ian Learmonth commented in Xpansiv’s media release: “The marketplace for ESG products is evolving at a rapid rate and Xpansiv is the clear leader in this area. Providing institutional investment portfolios and corporates with greater access to ESG products through Xpansiv will accelerate the drive toward essential sustainability and carbon-abatement goals.”
