The Responsible Sourcing Blockchain Network, a blockchain network committed to strengthening human rights and environmental protection in mineral supply chains, announced that its digital supply chain for cobalt has moved beyond pilot phase and is progressing toward use in live production computing environments from spring 2020, just as Volvo joins as its newest member.
Built on the IBM Blockchain Platform, the Responsible Sourcing Blockchain Network (RSBN) and its pioneering participants are working to build an open, industry-wide blockchain platform that provides for the traceability and verification of responsible sourcing practices from mine to market, including the end-to-end supply chains. The solution is designed in such a way that it allows companies of any size in the mining industry to contribute data in a secure and permissioned way.
