business is done , and Melnyk can point to outstanding examples of innovation in the ESG space . One such example is a Diginex customer , Tat Win – a major manufacturer of latex .
“ Tat Win is an upstream partner in complex supply chains that produce end products such as medical PPE , as well as consumer goods , such as balloons and adhesives .
“ There was significant responsibility on it to ensure supply chain transparency for its end consumers , including around the protection of rights for vulnerable groups of workers .
“ Using our blockchain solution , Tat Win has visibility on the recruitment and employment of migrant workers – from their countries of origin to their place of work – so is able to proactively address risks before they escalate .”
She adds : “ The data and information collected allowed Tat Win ’ s team to put in place action plans to strengthen policies , management systems , due diligence and remediation practices .”
Outside of Diginex ’ s customers , Melnyk cites another outstanding example of Industry 4.0 innovation : the case of ESG transgressions aboard the bulk carrier , Fortune Genius . supplychaindigital . com 99
