Designing a Collaborative Platform for Advancing Supply Chain Transparency
<|reference_start|>Designing a Collaborative Platform for Advancing Supply Chain Transparency: Enabling supply chain transparency (SCT) is essential for regulatory compliance and meeting sustainability standards. Multi-tier SCT plays a pivotal role in identifying and mitigating an organization's operational, environmental, and social (ESG) risks. While research observes increasing efforts towards SCT, a minority of companies are currently publishing supply chain information. Using the Design Science Research approach, we develop a collaborative platform for supply chain transparency. We derive design requirements, formulate design principles, and evaluate the artefact with industry experts. Our artefact is initialized with publicly available supply chain data through an automated pipeline designed to onboard future participants to our platform. This work contributes to SCT research by providing insights into the challenges and opportunities of implementing multi-tier SCT and offers a practical solution that encourages organizations to participate in a transparent ecosystem.<|reference_end|>
