摘要
Environmental regulations and standards play critical roles in corporate sustainable supply-chain practices. We explore and reflect on how blockchain can play a role. To answer that question, a small survey was distributed to blockchain experts and evaluated the relationship to implement the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) sustainability standards. We initially find that some characteristics of blockchain provided greater support for specific standards. Conclusions include that information transparency and traceability are more valuable for EPEAT environmental sustainability standards. © 1973-2011 IEEE.
