Broadridge Collaboration with CCRI Expands ClearFi Platform, Adding Crypto Sustainability Data

Published

on

Comprehensive solution for clients required to disclose sustainability metrics and generate whitepapers as per EU MiCA regulation

NEW YORK, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A new, pioneering collaboration between the Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute (CCRI), a leader in sustainability data on digital assets, and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: BR), a global Fintech leader, will deliver an integrated communications, data, and disclosure generation platform to help companies operating in Europe, including exchanges, brokers and asset managers to meet new sustainability reporting requirements. This integration combines CCRI’s trusted sustainability data with Broadridge’s ClearFI digital asset information and disclosure platform, enabling financial services firms to demonstrate compliance with the European Union’s (EU) Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations.

“As global regulators define new rules and standards to mature the Digital asset and Crypto Industry the ClearFi solution continues to expand to assist clients’ compliance needs,” said Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer at Broadridge. “Working with CCRI, we are helping the financial services industry meet critical regulatory requirement and drive more informed investment decisions for all market participants.”  

The EU’s MiCA framework represents a groundbreaking regulatory approach, designed to stabilize financial markets, protect investors, and usher in a new era of transparency in the crypto sector. MiCA requires Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs), including exchanges, brokers and custody providers operating in the EU to present their customers with sustainability metrics in addition to generating and filing whitepapers with Member States for each of the assets enabled on their platforms.  The combined dataset enabled through this partnership will enable Broadridge to assist CASPs in satisfying these regulations immediately. The new MiCA rules begin to go into effect on December 30, 2024.

“This collaboration is a significant milestone, providing companies with the data and tools to comply with regulatory frameworks including the requirements for sustainability disclosures,” said Christian Stoll, Chief Executive Officer at CCRI. This partnership will also extend to asset managers and corporations that will need to comply with upcoming changes to accounting rules that require the consideration of GHG emissions related to digital assets that asset managers or corporations hold or trade.

As regulatory efforts expand, for instance, California is introducing corporate climate disclosure requirements that extend to value chain (scope 3) emissions, including crypto-related activities, reflecting a broader global emphasis on sustainability in digital markets. The Broadridge-CCRI partnership positions clients to navigate these developments as well. The platform anticipates California’s upcoming corporate carbon reporting requirements, offering a forward-looking solution for asset managers and corporations operating in global markets.

Finsulate One of Business Worldwide Magazine’s Top 20 Most Innovative Companies to Watch in 2024

Published

By

Recognised for its groundbreaking work in the maritime industry, Finsulate has been named as one of the Top 20 Innovative Companies to Watch in 2024 by Business Worldwide Magazine.

LONDON, Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The list recognises trailblazing organisations redefining industries through groundbreaking technologies and transformative business practices. These companies define the future through innovation and disruption, from healthcare to energy.

Finsulate’s toxin-free antifouling wrap is reshaping its sector by offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective alternative to traditional antifouling paints. Biofouling, the buildup of marine organisms like barnacles and algae on ship hulls, has long been a costly and environmentally damaging issue. It increases drag, driving up fuel consumption, carbon emissions, and maintenance costs. Traditional antifouling paints, reliant on biocides, address the problem but at the cost of leaching harmful toxins into marine ecosystems.

By mimicking the textured surface of a sea urchin, Finsulate’s antifouling wrap prevents marine organisms from attaching to vessels without relying on harmful chemicals, resulting in superior performance:

Eco-Friendly Design: 100% free of biocides and toxins, safeguarding marine habitats.Longevity: Lasts 8–10 years, vastly outliving traditional antifouling paints.Cost Efficiency: Reduces the need for frequent maintenance and significantly lowers fuel consumption.Convenient Maintenance: Minor fouling can be removed easily while the vessel remains in water, minimising downtime.

Since its debut, Finsulate has been applied to over 800 vessels worldwide, from leisure yachts to large commercial ships and offshore wind installations. Early adopters have reported transformative results, including a steel sailing yacht treated in 2013 that remains largely biofouling-free over a decade later.

Finsulate is driving success stories whilst championing a broader shift towards sustainability within the maritime industry. Key impacts include:

Reduced Carbon Emissions: Improved fuel efficiency supports global climate goals.Preserved Marine Ecosystems: Biocide-free solutions protect biodiversity and minimise microplastic pollution.A Circular Economy: At the end of its lifecycle, Finsulate’s wrap is recyclable, aligning with cradle-to-cradle principles.

Founder Rik Breur encapsulates the company’s mission: “Sustainability is more than a trend; it’s our responsibility. Together, we can create a better future for our oceans.”
