Tortola, British Virgin Islands , Feb. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEALSQ Corp (“SEALSQ” or “Company”) (NASDAQ: LAES), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced a strategic partnership with CarbonMinus, leveraging the innovative SEALCOIN as a means to offset CO2 emissions and drive the decarbonization of the IoT industry. This collaboration marks a significant milestone at the intersection of energy management and sustainability, enabling businesses to not only redefine success but also to embrace a future where environmental stewardship and profitability go hand in hand.

Strategic Empowerment through Energy and Resource Dynamics

SEALSQ is committed to equipping businesses with the tools and knowledge needed to master their energy and resource dynamics. This initiative fosters a culture where profitability and environmental responsibility coexist, allowing companies to thrive while making a positive impact on the planet.

Elevating Brands with Sustainable Practices

Through this partnership, SEALSQ and CarbonMinus are set to elevate brand reputations across the industry, promoting sustainable practices that contribute to a sense of fulfillment and positive impact within the global eco-sphere. This strategic move not only enhances corporate images but also aligns them with the growing demand for responsible business operations.

Profitability with a Purpose: A New Business Paradigm

The collaboration between SEALSQ and CarbonMinus envisions a future where operational efficiency and green initiatives act as the twin engines of business success. This approach not only ensures profitability but also embeds a purpose-driven strategy at the core of business operations, paving the way for a more sustainable and profitable future.

Blockchain: Transforming the Carbon Credits System

The partnership also addresses the critical issues plaguing the traditional carbon market, such as lack of transparency, inefficiency, and fraud.

Blockchain technology offers an immutable and transparent ledger, ensuring that carbon credits are traded, tracked, and retired in an efficient and fraud-proof manner. This not only enhances the integrity of carbon markets but also makes it easier for companies to contribute meaningfully to the global fight against climate change.

The partnership between SEALSQ and CarbonMinus, through the use of blockchain technology and SEALCOIN, represents a pivotal step towards a more sustainable IoT ecosystem. By enabling businesses to offset their carbon emissions efficiently and transparently, this collaboration is setting new standards for environmental responsibility in the digital age.

Emphasizing the impact of this announcement, Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ, commented, “It is with great honor that we announce our transformative partnership with CarbonMinus. SEALSQ continues to be at the forefront of positive change in the digital space, and we believe this partnership is further evidence of our commitment to such.
