Evercity is a Berlin-based company that was founded in 2018. It streamlines and automates the issuance of sustainable finance instruments. The company's primary goal is to make green finance more accessible, transparent, and cost-effective, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Its core offering is a green debt and carbon origination platform, a SaaS solution that automates the entire lifecycle of sustainable finance, from structuring and issuance to monitoring and reporting. 

‍

The platform integrates with IoT and satellite technology to collect real-world data, which is used to verify the performance of green projects and prevent "greenwashing." A key feature is the ability to issue fully traceable digital assets, including carbon credits and sustainability-linked bonds.

‍

Evercity's platform leverages Hedera Guardian to create a verifiable and immutable record of a project's environmental impact, from initial funding to the final reporting of outcomes, in order to provide trust and transparency to the sustainable finance market.

Fresh Supply Co (FSCO) is an agri-fintech company based in Queensland Australia. It functions on the Hedera blockchain, leveraging Hedera Hashgraph to enhance transparency, traceability, and financing within agricultural supply chains. The company focuses on providing verifiable provenance for agricultural products and digitizing trade finance. By integrating with Hedera, Fresh Supply Co offers immutable record-keeping for supply chain events, which supports the verification of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) credentials for agricultural producers.

‍

Their core offering includes the "Continuity API," which facilitates the flow of payments and data through complex supply chains. This technology enables agricultural exporters to track their produce from farm to consumer utilizing global payment networks such as Mastercard. Fresh Supply Co's platform allows for the tokenization of agricultural assets, turning verifiable supply chain data into a digital asset that can be used to secure financing. This approach unlocks liquidity for farmers and suppliers by providing financiers with greater visibility and assurance regarding the underlying commodities and their movement.
