Supply Chain Transparency
Supply chain transparency is the ability to track and disclose information about a product's journey through the supply chain, including sourcing, manufacturing conditions, and environmental impacts.
Why It Matters
- Scope 3 emissions often represent 70-90% of total footprint
- Growing regulatory requirements (EU CSDDD, German Supply Chain Act)
- Consumer and investor demand for ethical sourcing
- Risk management for labor, environmental, and reputational issues
