Companies Increasingly Move Toward Sustainable Procurement and Supply Chain Transparency
In recent years, the world has become increasingly aware of the need for 'sustainable procurement of raw materials. Companies need to procure raw materials to make their products, and this process can create not only quality shortages but also various environmental and social challenges, such as resource depletion, child labor, and land overexploitation. The failure to address those challenges in the supply chain also poses the risk of damaging corporate value.
Under these circumstances, there is a growing trend around the world to emphasize product traceability (tracking of production history) and to make supply chains more visible and transparent. This visualization of production history enables us to prove that procured products are environmentally and socially conscious, to provide safe and secure products to customers, and to disclose more accurate information to stakeholders.

In the midst of the demand for supply chain transparency, it has been said that it is difficult to accurately grasp and manage the movement of raw materials because the shape of metal resources changes in the process of productization. However, by using SMX technology, which can be applied at the molecular level, it is possible to make the supply chain of metal resources transparent because the markers can function even if the shape of the material changes through processing. Even though the production process of metal resources involves the risk of human rights issues for miners and environmental impacts due to overexploitation, it is possible to identify and prove the source of raw materials and sell safer and more competitive products to customers by using SMX products.
