Blockchain

Blockchain technologies provide transparency and traceability across supply chains in the fashion sector by creating a decentralized, unchangeable digital ledger of a garment’s life cycle, starting from the sourcing of raw materials.  

Blockchain supports sustainability initiatives by providing an immutable and transparent record for every stage in the supply chain, increasing overall efficiency. This helps designers verify ethical practices and compliance with environmental standards. 

Blockchain tools can be integrated with digital passports through QR codes or Near-Field Communication (NFC) tags to provide consumers with in-depth, verifiable information.
