Integrating ES&G Performance Measurement for Sustainable Supply Chains using Blockchain Technology

발표요약문

The advent of blockchain technology and its synergistic technological advances such as the Internet of things and artificial intelligence have significant potential upsides for business and society. The literature—but not necessarily the practice—has shown growth in the interest of these technologies for sustainability purposes. Primarily, for blockchain technology, the interest has been growing in sustainable supply chains and related practices. We describe some of the potential and promise of blockchain technology for inter-organizational sustainability. A clear area of contribution for these technologies is in performance measurement in this environment. A critical practical contribution is the use of the blockchain enabled performance measurement systems for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ES&G) monitoring and reporting. The presentation delves into the various concerns and issues involved at this nexus of topics.
