ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we discuss solutions to supply chain transparency. This is by no means a new problem, so we begin with a recap of existing solutions, looking into their strengths and weaknesses. Using these, we create a framework for what the ideal solution might look like: not just in terms of worker impact, but also driving benefits across the supply chain. This includes global brands, suppliers, consumers, and governments. Then, we introduce some solutions, and dive into case studies to understand exactly how they are delivering results. Specifically, we look at the underlying approaches and technology that enable these solutions. We end by examining the barriers these solutions need to address to be successful at scale.
