  • Apr 2020 - Present

  We believe we have solved one of the remaining outstanding challenges in Supply Chain transparency. How can I be assured of interesting facts (sourcing location? sustainable? ethically produced?) behind my raw material supply chain when many of these materials get mixed up (we like to say co-mingled) very early in the their journey? GreenToken by SAP uses tokenisation on a blockchain to give me an immutable chain of custody record and allows me to make informed purchasing decisions, allowing me to meet my ethical/sustainable procurement and recycling goals, rewarding upstream suppliers/producers who demonstrate good practice ultimately leading to a cleaner greener planet.
