Traceability and Transparency: The Tech Opportunity for Supply Chains Sustainability
Day 2 : 10:35 – 11:25
With the push from consumer and government across the world, businesses are demanded to adopt sustainable business models. Supply chains operate within a complex and interconnected global ecosystem, which make sustainable practice very complicated. However, revolutionizing technology like blockchain can change this. Digital tools and platforms can also be implemented to enhance supply chain transparency and traceability to monitor and track every step of the operation.
In this panel, our field experts will share how companies can leverage technology to promote supply chain sustainability. There will also be discussions on the benefits of embracing these principles and why it’s no longer a choice but a necessity.

- How can technology, such as blockchain and IoT, enhance transparency and traceability in supply chains?
- What are the metrics companies should track for ESG compliance and sustainability evaluation?
- What are the challenges and opportunities of implementing these technologies in supply chains, including costs and resources required?
Post-event Actions
- Attendees and organizers can put the insights and discussions into practice by implementing transparent and traceable supply chains
