2. Corporate ESG Compliance

Case 2: Meeting Corporate ESG Compliance Needs

Overview

As global regulations tighten around Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) compliance, corporations face increasing pressure to track, report, and verify their sustainability efforts. The Edma Network provides a blockchain-based solution that enables businesses to transparently purchase, trade, and retire Energy Tracking Tokens (ETT) and Clean Energy Coins (CLE) for ESG compliance and carbon footprint reduction.

🔹 How It Works

1. Acquiring Renewable Energy Proof (ETT Tokens)

• Corporations purchase ETT tokens from renewable energy producers on the Edma Marketplace.

• Each ETT represents verified renewable energy production, ensuring a clear and auditable ESG footprint.

2. Converting ETT to Carbon Credits & RECs

• Companies can convert ETT into Carbon Credit NFTs (CBNFTs), Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), or Certificates of Origin (ECO NFTs).

• The blockchain guarantees immutability, making compliance audits seamless and fraud-proof.

3. Automated ESG Reporting & Compliance

• Edma’s AI-powered compliance engine generates automated ESG reports.

• These reports align with global regulatory frameworks such as:

  • CSRD (EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive)

  • SEC Climate Disclosure Rules (USA)

  • SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation)

  • GHG Protocol & CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project)

• Businesses can present these reports to investors, regulators, and stakeholders as verifiable proof of sustainability.

4. Offsetting Carbon Footprint

• Corporations can retire ETT and CLE tokens to permanently offset carbon emissions.

• The burning mechanism ensures that offset transactions are final and publicly recorded on the blockchain.

5. Earning ESG Incentives & CLE Rewards

• Companies can earn CLE incentives for actively engaging in sustainable energy purchases.

• CLE tokens can be staked or used in green finance projects, sustainability-linked bonds, and tax-benefit programs.
