New ESG regulation mandates multi-tier supply chain visibility
ESG regulation and reporting obligations are changing fast, mandating companies to fulfill their due diligence by monitoring their supply chains and providing ESG data supporting their claims.
Germany’s new Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettengesetz)
Mandates companies to fulfill their due diligence obligations by monitoring their supply chains for human rights violations and compliance with specific environmental standards and aggregate & report the ESG data to verify compliance.
- Into effect on January 1, 2023
- Fines of up to EUR 8 million for violations of due diligence and reporting obligations
- Breaches can lead to exclusion from entering into contracts with German public entities
- Global Impact as due diligence is obligatory on entire supply chain, regardless of where vendors are located
De EU-Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)
Mandates companies either based in the EU, or that have subsidiaries within the region, to increase trust in ESG reports and bring greater transparency to sustainability information. This information will become an obligatory part of the annual report and will need to be treated with the same degree of rigor as financial information.
- Into effect on January 1, 2024 (for the 2023 financial year)
- According to the Commissions’ requirements within the Directive, the sanctions can be expected to be significant
- 2023 is closer than it seems. To be fully prepared, businesses should start sharing tamper-proof data across their supply chain now
And reach your ESG objectives
Blockchain technology is an immutable database that can help track supply chains and performance metrics and make impact more consistently measurable across industries. Having the correct data and infrastructure in place, allows you to reach your ESG objectives
Improve Collaboration
Trust in supply chains is often in short supply. Blockchain pairs a shared source of truth with smart contracts that automate business processes. This ensures that every actor is held to the same rules and increases trust in the system.
Increase Consumer Trust
Blockchain technology can track ingredients along a supply chain to ensure quality & differentiation. This lets ESG managers report on the environmental impact of the production of goods throughout a supply chain and share accurate data with end consumers.
Feel In Control
We don’t suggest manually tracing all assets. Instead, automated scripts can do this for you. Knowing you have all the data whenever you need it and can visualize it gives back control.

The Unova blockchain helps companies measure the impact of their operations on the environment. It can even be the water consumption of the specific product and knowing their records are immutable and trustworthy.
