43: Ethical Investment Made Easy with Blockchain | Jori Armbruster, EthicHub
Episode in
Data For Future
Our current financial system is far from perfect and one of the biggest issues with it is that it leaves aside about a quarter of humanity, 1.7 billion people! With the arrival of blockchain and DeFi (decentralized finance), there is a big hope that this technology will create a more fair, inclusive, and efficient financial ecosphere.
One of the pioneers in the field is our guest Jori who created Ethichub, a company that makes socially responsible investment easy and secure, eliminating major barriers to capital flow through the use of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and a so-called peer-to-peer crowdlending. It connects people in developed countries that want to invest their money in a socially beneficial and profitable cause with solvent farmers around the globe and creates a win-win situation where farmers pay less interest and investors receive more returns.
How exactly does it work? Is this investment risky? How do you approach farmers with something as fancy-sounding as “blockchain peer-to-peer crowdlending”?! All this and more in this episode, so tune in!

Episode in
Data For Future
Every EU citizen generates around 8 tons of carbon emission yearly. But to limit global warming to 2 degrees we need to lower it to just 1 ton. As individuals, our daily consumption decisions accumulate our carbon footprint. When purchasing a product, how can we learn about its environmental impact? What is a reasonable amount of carbon emission for each kind of product? ClimatePartner, a carbon neutral label, is the solution that identifies how much carbon emission is produced with each product and what are the projects involved to offset them. Today, the CTO Simon Hohenadl is here to introduce us how ClimatePartner helps companies calculate their carbon footprints and offset their emissions, and how consumers can be empowered to make informed purchases with zero carbon footprint.
