An ESG-compliant blockchain is a distributed-ledger network designed and operated to meet environmental, social, and governance criteria, most notably by minimising energy use through low-power consensus and by offsetting or sourcing renewable energy. It typically pairs proof-of-stake or other efficient consensus with transparent emissions reporting and inclusive governance. Such networks aim to make blockchain adoption defensible under corporate sustainability and disclosure requirements.
