Secure Supply Chain

Description by tool provider

The orixe.tech platform is a solution that helps companies to have better control of the supply chain, make sure they only source authentic products, and that they only trade with ethical responsible companies and that they comply with EU Green Deal Regulations such as DPP, CSRD and CSDDD.

Platform technologies

• •Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
• •Blockchain / Distributed Ledger Technology
• •Role-based access control (RBAC)

Blockchain implementation

The blockchain is used for ensuring data integrity and to make sure that data is immutable. This is to ensure traceability in the supply chain.

Data input/output methods

• •Inbound APIs
• •Outbound APIs

Chemical substance traceability

Chain-of-custody is a continuity capability; composition and substance traceability are depth capabilities. Neither replaces the other.

• •Product composition / component traceability - Products are represented as structured compositions (e.g. components, ingredients) that can be independently traced to upstream sources.
• •Material flow / chain-of-custody tracking - Material inputs, outputs, and transformations between supply-chain actors are recorded using a defined chain-of-custody model.
• •Product–supplier association - Specific products (styles, SKUs, batches) are linked to the suppliers involved in their production.

Sustainability Impact categories

Impact data coverage describes which sustainability-related topics a platform can store and manage data for. It does not indicate the quality of the data, the methodology used, or whether impacts meet specific regulatory thresholds.

• •Carbon & energy data - (e.g. GHG emissions, energy use, Scope-related data)
• •Supplier processes & practices - (e.g. production processes, management systems, operational practices)
• •Human rights & working conditions - (e.g. labor practices, social compliance data)

Types of sustainability impact data

Impact data coverage indicates what topics a system can handle; traceability capabilities indicate how precisely that data can be linked to products, materials, and processes.

• •Qualitative data - (e.g. yes/no answers, self-assessments, policy statements)
• •Certificates & formal attestations - (e.g. certificates linked to suppliers, materials, or products)
• •Calculated / derived indicators - (e.g. system-generated metrics based on underlying data)
• •Verification & audit evidence - (e.g. audit results, third-party verification status)

Life Cycle Assessment  (LCA) handling

Product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations represent a single impact category and do not constitute a full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), which covers multiple environmental impact categories across the product life cycle

Product carbon footprint (PCF) calculations functionality only - (e.g. climate impact without full life cycle scope);

Risk assessment support

Risk assessment functionality indicates whether a platform supports identifying, prioritising, or visualising potential sustainability or compliance risks. Approaches vary significantly between tools and may rely on user-defined criteria, predefined rules, or system-generated indicators. Risk assessments are intended to support prioritisation and decision-making. They do not in themselves constitute legal compliance or due diligence.

• •Risk visualisation and hotspot identification - (e.g. dashboards, maps, or prioritisation views)
• •Manual or externally defined risk assessments can be stored - (e.g. risk ratings entered by users or imported from external sources)

Value chain actors involved in data exchange

• •Service providers / auditors / certification bodies - (e.g. third-party verification or compliance actors)
• •Logistics or downstream partners - (e.g. distributors, recyclers, end-of-life actors)

Digital Product Passport (DPP) development activity

The system is beneficial when handling the demands of DPP, both when mapping the value chain, the material in use and the ESG status in the supply chain. We are currently looking into how these features can be bundled to perfectly support the DPP directive.

EU regulatory readiness

Regulatory readiness reflects how a provider monitors and responds to evolving EU sustainability and supply chain regulations. It does not constitute a claim of legal compliance, as regulatory scope and timelines are still evolving.

We deliver a systematic approach on how to consistently work with sustainability in a manner that make sure companies comply with DPP, CSRD, CSDDD and follow the VSME reporting standard.
