One Future
Can blockchain technology reduce our carbon footprint,
and help achieve the United Nations sustainable
development goals and Net Zero?
Over the past few years sustainability, and in particular,
being responsible in regards to Environmental, Social &Governance (ESG) goals has become a crucial businessfactor, critical for companies across industries.

SettleMint & FinHub360 focus on the Paris Agreement,
European Green Deal implications, various Net Zeroinitiatives and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs). The two companies have teamed up to combine
software and advisory roles. Allowing our clients reachthe sustainability goals they are committed to achieve,to meet the expectations of their investors, clients andemployees and finally to be compliant with national andinternational regulations

We help you navigate through the complexity, to act andstay competitive all while achieving your key results and
ESG objectives.

The “Sustainability” Challenge:
Sustainability has been on our world agenda since the lastcentury, not only since the Paris agreement. It has become
evident to all market participants, not only recently, that
we need to act now in order to achieve the goal of limiting
global warming to below 1.5 degrees and the 2050 net zerotarget, in order to leave our children and grandchildren aplanet worth living on.
For a company to become sustainable it has to deal
with various levels of complexity: Where to start? What
does sustainable mean in environmental, social andgovernance terms? How can we become sustainable
while remaining profitable? What is really “green” andwhat isn’t? What technologies can we use and what
are the legal implications? Where can we accomplish
sustainable quick wins? How do we prove that we aresustainable throughout our value chain?

Companies need to identify the 20 % actions that will havean 80 % impact on the targeted key results, relating to the
17 SDG goals.
Doing the right thing the right way, is one success factor.
Having market participants such as; investors, clients,
employees or media accept the results, thanks to an
immutable audit trail is equally important.

Act Now
Ownership, Speed and Focus are critical success factors  
In the past many companies have not seen compelling
reasons to take action. The EU lighthouse project,
Sustainable Financial Directive (SFDR), and publicawareness are changing this in a way which has a direct
impact on companies:••••

Capital is now being allocated by investors tocompanies that are driving ESG focussed change.
Risk management practises at insurers, banks andcompanies alike are now starting to incorporate ESG
factors in their scenarios.
ESG risk mitigation and the allocation of investment
capital are becoming key performance indicators for
management.
Many consumers include sustainability in theirpurchasing decision criteria.

All stakeholders, particularly the Board of Directors
and executive management own this sustainability
transformation.
The ability to continuously verify the ESG goals as well as
the immutable transparency of all actions (potentially“smart contracted/tokenised”) along the value chain
become critical factors for stakeholders, clients, investors
and management alike.
Agility and speed are also key factors in establishingan end-to-end value chain while encompassing ESG
transparency for all stakeholders.
