Hashgraph Group & PwC Launch Hedera-Based ESG Solutions

The Hashgraph Group and PwC Partner to Launch Hedera-Powered ESG Solutions for Enterprises 

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, 14th November, 2025 : The Hashgraph Group (THG), a global leader in designing, developing, and deploying enterprise-grade solutions on the Hedera network, today announced a strategic collaboration with PwC Switzerland and PwC Germany—renowned for their regulatory, assurance, and sustainability advisory expertise. This partnership aims to empower enterprises to meet rising ESG disclosure requirements by leveraging Hedera’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) to deliver trusted, auditable, and scalable ESG solutions.

With the global carbon credit market projected to surpass $250 billion by 2030, and regulators mandating more rigorous ESG disclosures, the partnership comes at a pivotal moment. Organizations are under significant pressure to not only report ESG performance but also prove it with verifiable, audit-ready data aligned with leading global standards such as GRI, TCFD, and SASB.
Together, THG and PwC will address these challenges by focusing on high-impact sustainability applications including:

  • Carbon tracking and offsetting

  • Renewable energy certificates

  • Product lifecycle traceability

  • Circular economy and resource efficiency initiatives

A central element of this collaboration is the deployment of EcoGuard, a Hedera-powered sustainability platform that serves as a digital trust layer. EcoGuard anchors ESG data on the blockchain, creating immutable, tokenized records that enable independent verification, full auditability, and regulatory alignment. Delivered as a managed service, it integrates seamlessly into enterprise systems, supporting long-term compliance, operational resilience, and transparent reporting.

The initial rollout will prioritize large enterprise and government use cases, followed by global expansion across key sectors such as energy, manufacturing, and financial services—setting a new benchmark for ESG transformation.

Stefan Deiss, Co-Founder and CEO of The Hashgraph Group, said:

“This strategic partnership with PwC reflects our commitment to redefining sustainability reporting through transparency, trust, and accountability. As climate challenges intensify, integrity in ESG data becomes foundational. Built on Hedera—the world’s greenest distributed ledger—EcoGuard enables verifiable ESG compliance and lays the digital infrastructure for scalable environmental action worldwide.”

Recently, Verra, the world’s largest carbon credit standards body, integrated with Hedera—marking a significant milestone for credible, technology-driven carbon markets. The PwC–THG partnership builds upon this momentum to make carbon credit management faster, more transparent, and better aligned with global climate goals.

Dr. Antonios Koumbarakis, Partner at PwC Switzerland, added:

“Our collaboration with Hedera empowers organizations to accelerate decarbonization and resource efficiency. By leveraging cutting-edge DLT technology, we aim to enhance transparency, enable regulatory compliance, and unlock sustainable long-term value.”

Konstantin Dagianis, Partner at PwC Germany, commented:

“PwC and THG are uniting to address sustainability holistically—combining regulatory, business, and technological perspectives. Our integrated solution enables companies to meet compliance requirements not just internally, but across their entire value chain. With new regulations on the horizon, we are excited to support clients from concept to implementation.”

Airvoice Launches ‘Explore’ to Enhance Home Air Quality

New Delhi, 13th November 2025: Airvoice, a global startup dedicated to air quality control and management products and technologies, has officially launched Airvoice Explore, a new-generation indoor air quality system designed not for engineers or building managers, but for everyday individuals and families seeking control over the air they breathe at home.

Born out of the company’s enterprise-grade expertise, Explore reimagines air quality monitoring with a more personal, human-centered approach. Unlike traditional industrial systems, Explore combines one or two compact sensors (for indoor and optional outdoor monitoring) with an intuitive app that speaks the language of its users—whether they prefer simple emojis or deep data insights.

This shift toward home-focused innovation came in response to requests from clients who initially experienced Airvoice’s enterprise solution—Airvoice.Indoor Platform, a professional-grade system used in commercial buildings and offices. While powerful, it became clear that most home users needed a lighter, a more streamlined alternative. Explore is the answer: a compact system that bridges scientific accuracy with everyday usability.

With the average human inhaling over 11,000 litres of air daily, nearly 20 times more than our food and water intake, it’s clear that air quality has a direct impact on our health. The quality of the air we breathe is increasingly being linked to respiratory illnesses, fatigue, poor cognitive performance, and even chronic diseases. According to the State of Global Air Report 2024, air pollution is now the second leading cause of death worldwide, contributing to 8.1 million premature deaths in 2021.

“With Airvoice Explore, we wanted to create a product that doesn’t just show numbers, but tells a story about the air you and your family breathe,” said Danila Maglitsov, Chief Product Officer at Airvoice. “Some users only need a simple signal, a happy or concerned emoji to know if everything is fine. Others want to dive deep into graphs and trends. Explore speaks both languages.”

Key Features of Airvoice Explore:

  • Dual Monitoring: Tracks indoor air quality and, optionally, outdoor conditions using high-precision sensors.
  • Instant Alerts: Sends real-time notifications when air quality dips below safe levels.
  • Dual-Level Interface: Visual feedback through expressive emojis for quick checks, plus detailed analytics for deeper understanding.
  • Lifestyle Integration: Recommends actions to improve air and overall well-being, like when to ventilate, humidify, or purify.

Product Options:

  • Indoor Monitor Kit: Ideal for tracking air quality in homes, bedrooms, classrooms and offices
  • Indoor + Outdoor Kit: Delivers the most accurate air quality insights by measuring both indoor and outdoor conditions. The additional outdoor sensor captures hyperlocal pollution data, providing deeper environmental context and enabling precise, informed recommendations to enhance your indoor environment.

Built for ease of use, Explore’s plug-and-play design requires no technical expertise, offering a non-intrusive, mobile, and affordable path to a healthier lifestyle. It is designed to seamlessly integrate into households, workspaces, and even co-living environments.

With a foundation rooted in atmospheric physics, data science, and academic collaboration, Airvoice has long worked with governments, urban planners, and industries to understand and improve air quality. The launch of Explore represents a strategic pivot toward consumer-centric wellness, translating environmental intelligence into daily health empowerment.

As the world grapples with rising urban pollution and climate-linked respiratory diseases, Airvoice Explore stands as a timely innovation, making the invisible visible, and giving people the tools to breathe better, live smarter.

Ensono to Invest Dollar 250 Million in AI Over Next Five Years

Ensono announced plans to invest US$250 million (INR 2,207 crore) in AI development over the next five years

Pune, India , November 13, 2025: Ensono, a leading managed services provider (MSP) focused on IT modernization and innovation, announced plans to invest US$250 million (INR 2,207 crore) in AI development over the next five years in addition to launching the Ensono AI & Innovation Division marking a key milestone in its AI roadmap. This new division brings together innovators across engineering, data science, business analysis and software development to drive customer value through cutting edge innovation.

“At Ensono, AI is no longer a tool, it’s the engine through which we deliver value to our clients, and the operating system we use to run our business. We are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration in the adoption of AI across industries, reshaping how businesses operate and deliver value. This investment reflects our commitment to harnessing AI’s transformative potential to drive innovation, efficiency, and meaningful human impact. By deepening our AI capabilities, we aim to create solutions that not only empower enterprises but also enhance everyday experiences for people around the world,” said Jim Piazza, Chief AI Officer, Ensono. “This new organization allows us to build upon the transformational work we are already delivering to our clients and associates.”

AI is rapidly transforming managed services, and Ensono’s strategic adoption is already delivering results for the company and its clients. Ensono’s Envision Predictive Engine (EPE) proactively prevents failures across hardware, operating systems, applications, and networks. Since its launch, EPE has achieved a 22% reduction in major incidents and a 50% reduction in major incidents mean time to resolution (MTTR). Complementing EPE, Ensono’s DiagnoseNow enables Ensono’s teams to quickly identify and address problems, keeping client operations running smoothly. When DiagnoseNow is used to troubleshoot, incidents are resolved in less than half the time they normally require.

“The days of watching a console and reacting to an outage event are over. Our global associates now anticipate issues before they occur and take proactive steps to prevent major incidents,” said Piazza. “We’re redefining what it means to be a service provider, fundamentally shifting how we work with clients by leveraging insights at scale to deliver predictive support.”

When one of Ensono’s clients experienced a processing delay in a business-critical system, Ensono’s team identified the issue early, minimizing downtime and disruption. The team promptly determined the root cause, implemented a rapid fix, and restored full functionality with zero impact to operations. In another instance, Ensono proactively detected a critical system issue for a leading automotive manufacturer and resolved it before it could result in operational disruption.

In addition to Envision Predictive Engine and DiagnoseNow, Ensono is strategically implementing AI for its associates. Ensono developed EnsoAI, a secure AI platform leveraging several large language models that empower associates to draft content, expedite processes, and collaborate more efficiently. After strong adoption of their initial LLM, the company doubled down, recently rolling out a version that allows associates to create agents to automate work and leveraging prompt libraries to encourage teamwork, collaboration and sharing of best practices as the teams adopt AI as a teammate to help drive quality and efficiency in everything they do.

Ensono’s commitment to strategic, responsible AI adoption is further strengthened by its collaboration with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company. Through this collaboration, Ensono established a robust data foundation by centralizing terabytes of data from ITSM platforms, system logs, and network telemetry within Snowflake’s fully managed, governed, and secure environment. This single source of truth empowers Ensono’s innovative solutions, EPE and DiagnoseNow, to effectively leverage Snowflake’s advanced analytics, machine learning, and AI capabilities.

“Since building its platform on Snowflake AI Data Cloud, Ensono has been able to achieve remarkable business outcomes for Ensono’s clients and its own operators enabling the organization to evolve into a modern day Managed Service Provider,” said Abhi Saini, Manager of Product Management, Snowflake. “With this new division, Ensono will be able to bring together its talented innovators to power future AI projects on Snowflake to drive customer value more quickly.”
