"At Brane, we believe that blockchain and digital assets like cryptocurrencies, coupled with social responsibility, will transform the world for the better," said Adam Miron, Brane's Executive Chair and Interim CEO. "Our vision is to secure the world's transition to blockchain by building trust in digital assets. It's a lofty goal that our team is poised to reach, and our commitment to security, assurance, and trust means that everyone can benefit from the transformational opportunities of blockchain with confidence."
Unveiled at canadianbusiness.com on February 7, and in the Winter 2022 issue of Canadian Business magazine, the inaugural list recognizes an overall Top 10 New Innovators - with Brane in fifth place - plus an additional 40 companies that excel in environment, innovation, people, and impact intentionality.
"This recognition from Canadian Business is an acknowledgement not only that Brane's solutions and approach are innovative, but also of our focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, and on the health and wellness of our team. Our mission and approach have allowed us to attract some of the very best professionals from across financial institutions, government, law enforcement, and the technology sector. Our edge is our ability to innovate, and our superpower is our people," added Mr. Miron.
Beyond its people, Brane is also focused on advancing the environmental sustainability of the blockchain sector. In July 2021, the Ottawa-founded company became the world's first cryptocurrency custody company to sign on to the Crypto Climate Accord - a private sector-led initiative inspired by the Paris Climate Agreement, focused on reducing the environmental footprint of the cryptocurrency sector by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to committing to net-zero emissions from electricity by 2030, Brane collaborates with over 100 Accord signatories and supporters to advance the environmental sustainability of cryptocurrency and blockchain. Brane is also certified carbon neutral by Carbonzero.
In October 2021, the Alberta government approved incorporation of Brane Trust Company Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Brane Inc. that will provide regulated custody of digital assets for institutional clients. Brane Trust is now working with regulators to obtain a certificate of registration to open for business in Calgary.
