ESG Certification program
Our ESG Certification, issued as part of the AppleTree initiative, is a proprietary evaluation developed to encourage sustainable practices and ethical governance. The certification is based on criteria defined by our team, including environmental impact, social responsibility, and governance transparency. This proprietary certification is not formally recognized by international bodies but serves as a reliable benchmark for sustainability within our ecosystem.

How Certification Works
1. Self-Assessment and Registration:
Interested companies can apply for the ESG certification program by completing a registration form on the official AppleTree Token website.
2. Analysis and Verification:
Current Phase: Certification is currently managed directly by me, the project’s founder. While not yet formally recognized, this certification serves as an initial incentive to motivate companies to improve their ESG practices.
Future Phase: I plan to collaborate with external and recognized ESG organizations to ensure a formal, transparent, and universally accepted certification process.
3. Certification Reward:
The first 50 companies to obtain certification will receive an incentive of 1,000 APTESG tokens each, totaling 50,000 tokens dedicated to the program. This bonus is designed to reward companies that show an initial and concrete commitment.
