Over more than two decades, Premio Aretè has recognized outstanding contributions across business, media, and culture, shaping a new narrative of sustainability through projects with concrete and forward-looking impact.

“We’ve worked hard to become the greenest blockchain solution in the world whilst still being one of the fastest, and we are celebrating this by partnering with the OneOcean Foundation on a number of upcoming projects,” said Richard Ells, CEO of Electroneum. “We are excited to work with them on verifiable donation channels where supporters can see exactly how funds are allocated to ocean projects and to allow the tokenisation and tracking of sustainable practices. This will clearly demonstrate the power of blockchain to aid transparency and veracity.”
