Blockchain for Sustainable Business

Blockchain technology catalyzes sustainability efforts by enhancing transparency, traceability, and accountability in business operations.

Globally, the significance of sustainability is escalating, driven by regulatory compliance, energy consumption, climate change, and overall operational costs.

The environmental footprint of an application is only one of the many aspects of sustainability. Equally important are the cost of operating, maintaining and scaling an application as well as its longevity, security and privacy, resilience against attacks, and business model - ultimately the economic sustainability of an application once it is built and launched.
