We are one of the few (if not the first) blank check companies to obtain Pending B Corp status. To become a Pending B Corp, we, among other things, incorporated as a public benefit corporation. The B Corp framework is highly aligned with benchmarking progress toward achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (the “UN SDGs”) and signals that a business is using its power as a force for good. As a public benefit corporation, our corporate purpose includes: (i) fostering an enduring, sustainable and profitable business that advances the UN SDGs, (ii) being stewards of the land, air, and water, and (iii) being supportive of the people and communities within which we operate.

Our focus will include, but not be limited to, companies in the water, food & agriculture, renewable energy, and environmental resource management sectors, as well as supporting technologies, in the United States and other developed countries (collectively “UN SDG-focused Businesses”).

Nicole Neeman Brady serves as our CEO. She has over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur, executive, investor and community leader with global water, energy, and agricultural expertise. Ms. Neeman Brady serves as principal of Renewable Resources Group LLC. She previously was a founder and the president of Edison Water Resources, a distributed water purification and recycling business.
