Blockchain for Sustainability Database
Projects using blockchain technology to create positive sustainability impact.
Why Blockchain for Sustainability?
With features such as decentralization, immutability, transparency, and programmable trust (through smart contracts), blockchain technology can take sustainability monitoring and reporting to the next level, and facilitate thousands of small businesses that fall in the ‘nth tiers’ of complex global supply chains to report their sustainability performance. The impact of these businesses has been collectively classified as scope 3 (in reference to emissions), for which no one seems to be responsible, however, according to Deloitte, for most businesses this impact is 70% of their overall impact. This itself is an opportunity big enough to look at the opportunity that blockchain can unlock.
In addition blockchain based networks are allowing several sustainability focused businesses to verify and monetize their sustainability efforts, which will go a long way in strengthening the sustainability ecosystems.
As we started to look at enterprise blockchain projects through a sustainability lens, we have been positively surprised by the different ways by which small and big organizations from across the world, are using the technology to create positive sustainability impact. If you believe that blockchain technology can make sustainability journey easy, you can access our compilation of weekly findings by joining our Blockchain for Sustainability Database (free registration for limited time).
