KYOTO, Japan, Mar 23, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - The Value Research Center (VRC) launched an integrated Value Model of ESG and Sustainability measures in a new white paper issued today. With the shift from short term, profit-focused thinking towards long-term, sustainable, value-focused thinking, businesses globally need to answer a fundamental question: "What value are you providing our collective future?"
The VRC at Doshisha University was established in November 2021 to develop a Value Model that could guide any company to answer this question, so ensuring a more sustainable future. The VRC published its initial white paper, "Valuing Value", in June 2021, integrating 357 impact measurements from 15 of the world's top ESG and sustainability frameworks and developing a 7-stakeholder, 27-theme, 80-goal model to help businesses objectively and transparently measure and manage the value impacts that they have on their key stakeholders.

The VRC's new white paper entitled "A Value Model for Responsible Business", integrates an additional 346 impact measurements from 6 new frameworks into the initial model. These 6 frameworks include the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) Prototype Climate-related disclosures; Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) guidance on metrics, targets and transition plans; Stockholm Resilience Center's Planetary Boundaries; United Nations Development Program (UNDP) SDG Impact Standards for Enterprises; International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards; and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) climate disclosures.

Professor Philip Sugai, Director of the VRC, says "Our team analyzed hundreds of existing impact measurements and organized these into 27 common themes, with 81 goals that any company, regardless of their size, industry or location can use to measure, manage and use to consistently increase the value they create for their stakeholders. Unlike existing ESG or sustainability reporting models, the VRC Value Model offers companies the ability to track their actual stakeholder impacts, using this data to create forward-looking strategies aimed at further increasing the value they create for and with these stakeholders."

Masato Yamazaki, Professor Emeritus of Economics at Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and VRC operating council member, said "The Value Model that our VRC research team offers is a more advanced approach than any other sustainability model or approach in existence today, since it can automatically help identify the root causes of the problems companies face via well-developed assessment tools."

"What is needed in sustainability efforts today goes beyond simple reporting," says Dr. Kumar Iyer, Mentor for Value Creation and VRC operating council member. "The VRC Value Model is based on objective metrics and quantifiable indicators which can be independently verified. This is uniquely different from any other sustainability reporting approach as it is directly linked to creating social impact."

The white paper is available for download at the VRC website:

SANTA MONICA, CA, Feb 28, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Power of One Foundation ("POOF") has entered into a partnership with Legacy Block (BLCK:Pancakeswap). BLCK is an operating division of Peerless Exponential Partners, LLC (PXP). By way of the partnership POOF will use Legacy Block's BLCK governance token as the governance token for a series of new blockchain based projects targeted at ending hunger in the United States. These projects will materially increase POOF's reach and efficiency in addressing its goal that aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) - Zero Hunger.
Legacy Block ("BLCK") is the governance token of several protocols seeking to address some of the world's greatest challenges. "We believe we can use our token to solve some of the world's pressing challenges," says Joel Plasco, Co-Founder of Legacy Block. "When we set out to do this in Nigeria we were met with pessimism, what we now know is people will invest their time in what we call Personal Natural Resources ("PNR") to help themselves and their community. Blockchain and tokens are a very helpful tool for documenting and rewarding people for their participation."

Through the partnership POOF will work with Legacy Block to create new food security solutions leveraging the power of Blockchain. POOF's expertise and capabilities have been tested and honed over the duration of the Covid Pandemic. In 2020, as the effects of Covid halted the economy and devastated the income for tens of millions of Americans, POOF stepped up to feed over 3 million people in California and distributed over 10 million lbs of food earning it 2020 California Nonprofit of the Year.

"We learned during the height of the pandemic that new blockchain based tools could have possibly helped us increase the number of people we fed and could have helped people in need get other vital services. We believe we can use PNR to convert time and other intangible assets into tokenized monetizable assets," says Andre Roberson, CEO of Power of One Foundation.

By working with POOF, Legacy Block believes in the acquisition and utility of cryptographic assets available to everyone on the planet. Legacy Block has signed up 100,000 members in Africa who have pledged more than 5 million hours of their time to help social innovators who solve real world problems. These members are using PNR to eliminate extreme poverty. Legacy Block has agreed as part of this partnership to provide training and start-up capital to 50,000 POOF members which will allow those members to use PNR to reduce food insecurity.

"Applying PNR to food securities issues in the USA is the next step in creating a global PNR ecosystem capable of reducing financial inequalities," says Master Node Holder Lou Zant.

"We are excited to work with Legacy Block to help 50,000 of our community members activate their Personal Natural Resources ("PNR") to achieve permanent food security and to have access to the Legacy Block BLCK governance token and the great minds gathering to solve real life problems using blockchain," says Andre Roberson.

About Legacy Block

Legacy Block is an operating subsidiary of Peerless Exponential Partners, LLC, a company headquartered in the USA. Its purpose is to provide a framework for governance and coordinate the Legacy Block Initiative. This will foster transformative social impact through decentralized technologies in support of financial inclusion. The goal is the elimination of extreme poverty to ensure universal basic opportunities exist for every citizen on the planet.

A global philanthropic community is seeing rapid-fire growth across the world as members unite to bring about change in the world. The community was initiated by Philcoin – an award-winning philanthropic movement in the blockchain bridging the gap between philanthropy and technology. Philcoin was awarded Social Impact Project of the Year 2021 at AIBC in Malta.

Just days away from its official launch in February 2022, Philcoin's mission has spread further and faster than ever imagined. Philcoin's CEO, Jerry Lopez, said, “I am blown away by the community's support. We've been inundated with messages from around the world – from Asia to Latin America, Africa to Europe – from people who want to know how they can get involved. Our team is working around the clock, finalizing partnerships with incredible charities who share the same values we do, and our tech team is putting the finishing touches on our app that will connect the world to those in need.” 

Philcoin is the official cryptocurrency partner of the SDG Impact Fund and together they will be achieving the UN'S 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To explain the problems the partnership will be solving, Tony Suber, Executive Chairman of SDG Impact Fund says, “Imagine a humanitarian crisis happens in the world – a typhoon, drought, earthquake, pandemic or war – how would you be able to help from a different part of the world? There's no easy way to donate in an emergency, no single platform that exists for the sole purpose of helping those in need on a global scale and certainly not in the crypto space. This is the gap Philcoin and the SDG Impact Fund are looking to fill, together.”

The past two years have had a monumental impact on the world, its people and resources. With the pandemic slowly abating, we are seeing an escalation in natural disasters and fluke storms devastating communities around the world. Now, more than ever, people need a way to support the causes and charities they are most passionate about. They need a space where not only is it easy to give back, but the funds are able to reach those in need quickly and efficiently. Philcoin will provide a space on its website, app and social channels for people to donate at the click of a button.

Over the last few months, Philcoin has created a robust network through its social channels and app downloads. Join the movement today and visit linktree.com/philcoin

About Philcoin:

Philcoin is an award-winning philanthropic movement in the blockchain whose purpose is to establish a global interactive ecosystem where the daily use of IOT “Internet of Things” (social media, television, means of communication) become a rail where people can earn while they use the products and services. 

Given our history of humanitarian support and endeavors, Philcoin's purpose is to GIVE BACK while people transact in BLOCKCHAIN. 

Philcoin's vision is to create the largest community of philanthropists around the world in a time and age where over 1.7B people are unbanked, over 55% of people in the USA alone cannot read a book at an 8th grade level, and where giving back has been ignored as a global initiative in the blockchain space. A space where billions of dollars have been directed to projects without a purpose. 

Philcoin's mission is to help people build a digital economy while chatting, watching television, playing video games, getting educated and shopping. As well as using our philanthropic partnerships which allows everyone an equal opportunity in generating digital wealth, Philcoin uses Smart contracts which demonstrate a high level of a transparency, and a user-friendly environment, whilst fulfilling the purpose of the 17 SDGs and every humanitarian support in our ecosystem.

-- SDG Exchange (https://sdgexchange.io/), the first-of-its-kind, global exchange platform for carbon credits and other SDG assets, today announced that its exchange and marketplace infrastructure platform is now live. 

SDG Exchange was founded to fully enable efficient, transparent and trusted global marketplaces for carbon offsets pursuant to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.   All assets listed on SDG Exchange platforms are compliant with Paris Agreement Article 6, fully verified by independent third-party auditing and meet the most rigorous standards, including ISO 14064-3.  

Carbon credits entering SDGx's Carbon Asset Monetization (CAM) marketplace are registered on blockchain, eliminating current carbon market inefficiencies including double counting, double printing, double spending, and emerging double retirement.  All transactions, custodianship, accounting and retirement are public record via immutable distributed ledger.  Carbon credits can remain as a credit, or be transferred into a digital Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMO) unit, allowing the transfer of carbon credits between countries and marketplaces globally.  Pursuant to Article 6, one ITMO equals one metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent.  Asset transactions are fulfilled via Fiat, Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Embedded video link here:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dINtSkWUqdPrYnPkZbJr_UsUGL6Rq8DL/view?usp=sharing 

SDGx delivers turnkey SDG market infrastructure for countries that require offset markets and offset solutions to meet Paris Agreement commitments (Nationally Determined Outcomes or NDCs).   As well, SDGx provides trading and custodial solutions for enterprises to meet requirements of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).  SDGx also offers an independent exchange capable of transacting in and across every market, including delivering global offset price normalization.

SDGx initial carbon credit supply are high quality regenerative agriculture carbon offset projects, fully meeting the stringent requirements of ISO 14064, and actively reduce carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (i.e. drawdown).  

“SDGx's platform delivers market infrastructure with transparency, trust, accountability, efficiency and global price normalization, which is exactly what countries and large private sector players need for global carbon offset markets to reach the scale and volume required to mitigate climate change.  We look forward to being a trusted marketplace enabler.”

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement calls for a robust global marketplace for trading carbon offsets as one of the primary tools to address climate change.  Five years later, a global consensus on market standards remains elusive. The SDGx platform is a major step forward in market standard execution.

The SDG Exchange platform has been in development for four years and is backed by a number of blockchain angel investors, including Michael Terpin (Transform Group), Nikolai Mushegian (MakerDAO), and Brock Pierce (Tether).
