QDApp, LLC dba QDEx Labs™ , which provides a revolutionary, inherently quantum secure, self-defending digital network infrastructure with a sustainability proposition that is in a class of its own, called the QNTYM Railway™, further discussed by GovCon Expert Chuck Brooks in this article, has decided to pursue the Edenark Group ISO 14001 environmental sustainability certification program.

The Edenark Group ISO 14001 is the world’s premier environmental sustainability certification program and allows SMEs (small to mid-sized enterprises) the ability to attain the world’s most popular environmental certification standard via a program designed and priced specifically for them.   Edenark Group also helps clients pursue carbon neutrality, ESG and Net Zero performance/certification, using the Edenark Group ISO 14001 as a foundation for long term compliance.

The program, which allows companies to progressively improve at a pace that works for their needs, helps the organization define how it interacts internally, externally, and with the environment.  It incorporates energy/waste/water, employee health and performance enhancement, community involvement, procurement and suppliers, compliance and regulations, emergency/security, and stakeholder engagement.  Benefits include creating a culture of continual improvement, stakeholder engagement, lower costs, higher revenues and profits, improved employee performance, and…… doing the right thing for the environment and current and future generations.

“Even as we finish and launch our new branding initiative we continue to align and maintain our passion related to our S4 mission: sovereignty, security, speed, and sustainability,” says Walt Greene, Founder and CEO of QDEx Labs, LLC.  “We are revolutionizing the global digital infrastructure space specifically where it concerns sustainability in that we focus on unmatched efficiency at incredible speeds with the simple and execution of an app!  As the energy efficiency aspect of this solution set is particularly applicable to multiple areas of the crypto industry, in addition to the cyber security value proposition in the general sense, QDEx Labs has taken on the major contributor role for the QDEx Network: a community led and governed, quantum secure, decentralized network that boasts a quantum secure, sustainable, personal digital asset storage and (Peer-to-Peer-based DeFi) crypto marketplace app and network.  The Edenark Group ISO 14001 program allows us to show via a global certification, how seriously passionate we are and how well our company is designed and operated which adds even greater veracity to our assertions. This will be a compelling program for all our stakeholders; our clients, our company and our community.”

“When an organization pursues, and attains, the Edenark Group ISO 14001 sustainability certification, they are not just doing it to see their costs go down and revenues and profits go up.  They are setting a higher bar for their organization and sending a signal to all those around them,” says David Goodman, CEO of Edenark Group.  “The QDEx Labs™ team has accepted that challenge for their corporate sustainability goals, for how they operate their business, and for their disruptive product offering, as discussed in this article.  We are excited to be working with them.”

Per this Reuters article, titled “ESG Watch: ‘Writing is on the wall’ for U.S. companies with SEC’s tough new rules on reporting climate risk”, the new SEC rules will have significant impact on U.S. companies.

In effect, for public companies with revenues of more than $75 million, they will not only have to report on their Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, but their Scope 3 emissions also.

Why should a SME (small to mid-sized enterprise) care?  Or, taking it further, why should a privately-held SME care?

• If you are bidding the work of, or providing products/services directly…or via supply chain channel…to that +$75 million company, they are going to require you to be certified sustainable and have a carbon reduction program.

If you have not yet been impacted by this, it is because only 15% of public companies are reporting on Scope 3 and even fewer are asking their entire vendor pool to be certified sustainable and report their carbon emissions.

That will all change with the new SEC rules.

So, the lemons or lemonade question for SMEs is simply –

• Do nothing and see if your clients start moving their business away from you. Then, if you are forced into it, become certified sustainable, and try to recapture some of the business lost; or
• Use this as a way to differentiate. Become certified sustainable, promote it to prospects and clients, and take market share from your peers that delay.

Prior to the SEC rule changes, studies show that 7 out of 10 consumers (B2B and B2C) are willing to break their current loyalty and move their business if they find a certified sustainable company offering the same product value.  This has helped certified sustainable companies grow 75% – 20x faster than their non-certified peers.  With the SEC rule change, that 70% will go up and certified sustainable companies will outgrow their non-certified peers by even more.

Few of us like new rules and regulations.  But when they come, some of us see the opportunity to turn those lemons into lemonade.

Here is an article on supply chain sustainability; speaking to both large organizations and the smaller vendors who serve them.

Here is a PPP on what your organization and your supply chain vendors should look for in a sustainability program.

And proving that it can be done, here are three small organizations, all linked via a supply chain, and all certified sustainable.
