iTraceiT
iTraceiT provides a blockchain and QR-code-based platform to document and verify the ethical and sustainable journey of products, from raw material to finished good. It addresses the lack of transparency in global supply chains, especially in the luxury sector, where companies struggle to substantiate their ESG claims and ensure ethical sourcing.
The lack of traceability leads to issues like unfair labor conditions, gender inequality, and greenwashing. iTraceiT tackles this by recording every transaction and transformation, empowering brands and governments to prove where materials come from and under what social and environmental conditions.
The solution enables fair compensation and recognition for artisanal miners and small producers, supports country-of-origin initiatives in places like Angola and South Africa, and generates verifiable due-diligence reports. By bridging technology and ethics, iTraceiT helps build a more transparent, equitable, and sustainable global trade ecosystem.
