The OurInterest Caribbean Inc investment firm announced on August 30th their plans for a new venture to solve climate change. Using their cryptocurrency, OurCoin Classic, OurInterest is creating an ecosystem where the public is able to support, engage, and fund environmentally responsible companies.
The proposed venture addresses key climate challenges such as the unsustainable amount of resources used globally, the lack of transparency in supply chains for existing companies, and the issue of visibility for eco-friendly ideas. In the venture’s first phase, OurInterest locates and scrutinizes companies with environmentally friendly ideas, with holders of OurCoin participating in the voting process.
The second phase of the venture launches a platform for the distribution of environmental and ethical standards in company supply chains, allowing OurInterest to attach a rating to each scrutinized company from phase one based on how well they adhere to these standards. This gives more power to the consumer in supporting companies they trust, putting pressure on corporations to make sustainable economic decisions.
OurInterest uses the Waves international platform to distribute the OurCoin Classic currency among investors.
