Impact Investing in Metaverse

The Toolbox for Impact Investing in Metaverse
Metaverse is ALREADY making an impact on ESGs. But is it a bad or a good
impact?
-Nobody seems to agree on anything on the Metaverse, not even the market
valuation (as it always happens with new markets.)
-Yet, it will be huge; To get the best investments and make a good impact, you
should ask these unique questions
-What areas are the backbones of Metaverse?
-What should I track?;
-Is this business ESG relevant?

Positive Impact on Sustainability

Metaverse Renewable Energy System Management
Wind Turbine Digital Twins + Microsoft Mixed Reality System + Meta
Horizon Platform

Metaverse Store for Sustainable Products
A metaverse store provides customers with a digital twins connected 3D virtual world
where customers are able to interact in real-time 24/7/365 with a digital environment
through their own personal avatar. Metaverse stores can create a more immersive
experience for customers.
Store managers can pre-test a product before actually producing it & perform smart
inventory/shipping/ product lifecycle management & reduced number operation of
physical store: reduce raw material/energy/water use/GHG emission, less produce
waists and increase reuse/recycle in manufacturing/logistics

Metaverse Factory for Sustainable Manufacturing/Supply Chain
A metaverse factory provides immersive 3D collaborate platform that combines digital
twin technology with real-time and historical data from IoT streams, manufacturing
system, and other enterprise systems.
A metaverse factory enables smart design and factory planning for optimizing the
manufacturing process & smart supply chain management: reduce raw
material/energy/water use/GHG emission, less produce waists and reduced carbon
footprint in supply chain

Metaverse NFT/DeFi Based Sustainable Financing
Green funds are an investment funds for clean transportation systems (e.g.,
electric vehicle), green buildings (e.g., energy-efficient buildings), renewable
energy systems (e.g., wind/solar power system), waste management system
(recycling system) to invest in sustainable design, reductions in energy- and
water-use, greenhouse gas emissions reduction, air quality improvement, and
natural resource protection.
Metaverse NFT + DeFi for Sustainable Financing Method
Step 1. Tokenize assets (e.g., solar power plants, wind farms, carbon credit) or
projects (e.g., green infrastructure), as a Fungible (ERC20) Tokens or a Non-
Fungible-Token (NFT) (ERC721/ ERC1155 tokens)
Step 2. For fungible tokens, use them as collateral for some money market
DeFi liquidity pools to borrow money values or monetize through fund raising of
a specific project
Step 3. For NFT, put it into a specific smart contract & anyone can buy the
shares in the ownership rights by sending collateral and receiving a fungible
(ERC20) bonded token.
