Concordium and Arivu partner to Combat Greenwashing with Blockchain Verification

Leave a comment

ZUG, Switzerland, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Concordium announces it is partnering with Arivu, a Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider that specializes in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting verification. The partnership aims to tackle the growing issue of greenwashing by providing companies with verified ESG data, evidence, and assurance.

Arivu’s platform leverages blockchain verification to reduce costs and minimize effort when it comes to audit and compliance, representing a more cost-effective and efficient way for companies to report ESG data and do their part in the fight against climate change.

With the latest European research calling out a reported 42% of “green” claims for being “exaggerated, false, or deceptive,” greenwashing is a dangerous practice that negatively impacts both a company’s reputation and bottom line. The partnership with Arivu is a testament to Concordium’s commitment to fighting climate change through the use of groundbreaking blockchain-based solutions, as was the case with previous collaborations with ClimaFi,  Energinet and Carbotanix. 

Through its EasyWriter product, Arivu provides off-chain companies and projects with an easy-to-use interface for different use-case requirements. The platform supports both small and large payloads, with small payload data containing the hash of the binary data, blockchain name, and transaction ID, and large payloads being written to file storage public blockchains.

Arivu is on a mission to provide companies with a trusted way to own, prove and share their sustainability transition by making it easier to identify and manage risk exposure across supply chains. With Concordium’s enterprise-grade blockchain technology, Arivu’s EasyWriter platform can verify ESG data and provide immutable proof of its accuracy. 

“We are delighted to partner with Concordium to help companies solve the challenge of investor and public trust in their sustainability claims. Our combined capabilities are a game-changer for corporates.”  Matthew Nelson, CEO of Arivu.

“Together, Concordium and Arivu are working towards a more transparent and sustainable future, where ESG reporting is verified and accurate, and greenwashing is a thing of the past,” says Torben Kaaber, Head of Commercial at Concordium.

At the ceremony, the China Academy of Art (CAA), the international designer organizations connected by DIA, Chinese and foreign art academies and digital technology and advanced manufacturing firms jointly launched the International Design Intelligence Union (DIU).

On April 9, 2022, the 7th DIA kicked off globally. Themed “Design Collaboration”, the award aimed to break the barriers to the growth of people, things and the world and establish a new international integration relationship, attracting considerable attention and numerous participants in the design sector and beyond. The 7th DIA received 8,010 entries from 70 countries and regions worldwide. In particular, the DIA focuses on implementing the “DIA Design United Nations Program”.

Driven by smart and information technologies for the integration of art, technology and business, DIU promotes the integration and innovation of smart designs and attracts diverse participation in collaborative innovation between “governments, enterprises, universities research institutes and end-users”, thus creating an exchange and synergy platform with global influence, building a cross-sectoral network that deeply integrates design innovation into intelligent manufacturing, advancing industrial upgrades and social progress.

Ifbot, the developer of the Gold Award winner IFBOT X3 Solar Panel Cleaning Robot, pioneers the concept of “PV intelligent cleaning robot”.

Glad Perez, a Senior Financial Advisor and BNI Member from BNI USA, explains how she benefits from her Membership in ways she was not expecting when she first joined. “When I joined BNI, I knew it was a place to network and pass referrals, but what I never expected was the camaraderie that exists between Members. What Members are asking for may be different, but it doesn’t matter because we all have a common goal: to pass referrals and offer any support and solutions we can. We want to refer Members we know, like and trust…because we truly care about each other succeeding. BNI saves me time and money since it is the only referral marketing program I need to be successful in my business, providing me both national and worldwide exposure.”

Throughout their Membership, BNI Members, like Perez, are given the tools and training to develop long-term, meaningful business relationships with results-driven professionals, dedicated to helping each other generate more sales and more business in a faster amount of time. The data shows that BNI saves time because it is a more effective and efficient way to grow a business. In fact, BNI referrals are twice as likely to convert to business than leads from other non-networking marketing channels3. These numbers demonstrate just how important quality referrals and word-of-mouth marketing can mean to business owners.

“We are on a mission to help BNI Members double the value of their business with personalized support, transformative training, world-class technology, incredible events, and 24×7 access to the most powerful business network on the planet,” says BNI Chairman and CEO Graham Weihmiller. “BNI’s unique model provides a way for business owners to maximize their marketing time each week by providing them with a collaborative cohort of trusted individuals who will share their business on their behalf through the power of referral marketing. It is not only a fun way to grow a business, but also a smart way to grow a business.”
