Is there a role for blockchain in responsible supply chains?

Abstract

This paper provides a critical look at how blockchain technology is currently being developed and used to facilitate responsible business conduct, and offers suggestions for how responsible business conduct can be integrated into emerging blockchain initiatives in an effective way, in alignment with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. This paper is a contribution to a broader effort to promote and coordinate best practice and policy coherence in the area of supply chain due diligence.
