Why is DGB a public company?

Our listing allows investors to supply liquidity while receiving compensation for improving our planetary health. It’s a win-win.

As a publicly traded purpose company, we reach a worldwide audience and enable individual shareholders to participate in our activities.

Public companies have greater access to capital markets, allowing us to raise funds by issuing additional stock. This can be crucial for financing new projects, expansion, or research and development without seeking out private loans or investors.

Being publicly traded can make mergers and acquisitions easier to accomplish. Using stock as a currency for acquisitions can be an attractive option, as it can facilitate transactions that might not be possible with cash alone.

Public companies often enjoy enhanced credibility and prestige in the eyes of customers, suppliers, and partners. This can be beneficial in negotiations and can lead to more favourable terms in contracts and agreements.

Public companies can offer more attractive compensation packages to their employees, including stock options and bonuses tied to the stock's performance. This can help attract and retain top talent.

Being publicly traded imposes a level of discipline due to regulatory requirements, shareholder expectations, and market scrutiny. This can lead to more efficient operations and a focus on long-term profitability and sustainability.

Public companies are subject to stringent reporting requirements, which can lead to increased transparency, better governance practices, and, ultimately, greater trust among investors and the public.

Shareholders in public companies benefit from increased liquidity, enabling them to buy and sell shares more easily than in private companies.

Access to international investors and global visibility can open up more opportunities for expansion into new markets, enhancing the DGB's growth potential.
