“…For example, PANGAIA clothing has initiated a "digital passport" (QR code and cloud-hosted digital twin) printed on clothing to indicate its carbon and water footprints, and Sheep Inc uses a bio-based near-field communication tag detailing the carbon footprint at each stage of the supply chain. Other recent advancements, such as block-chain technology, may also improve tools for supply chain management and carbon footprinting 59 .…”

Carbon labeling systems can inform individual and organizational choices, potentially reducing the carbon footprints of goods and services. We review the ways labeling has been conceptualized and operationalized and available evidence on effectiveness. The literature has focused mainly on how labeling affects retail consumer behavior but much less on how labeling affects the behavior of the organizations that produce, transport, and sell products despite preliminary research suggesting that effects on corporate behavior may be significant even absent strong consumer responses. We consider key challenges for carbon labeling systems related to standard-setting, data collection and use, and label design. We summarize available knowledge, identify key research questions, and identify steps toward achieving the promise of carbon labeling.

“…As stated previously, social responsibility-focussed blockchain applications are still scarce. Use of a blockchain in support of a social cause was examined in Liu et al [19], where a blockchain was used to store carbon footprint emissions in Taiwan. The immutability and irreversibility of blockchain data provide a reliable window to check a company's carbon emissions, encouraging more compliant behavior towards environmental regulations and hence towards society overall.…”

Blockchain applications have continuously improved ever since its first debut on cryptocurrency. From then on, its uses have branched out from the financial realm, finding their way into numerous industries such as health, environmental, and governmental. Businesses are starting to take advantage of the intrinsic traits that made blockchain so notorious into their operations, such as security, integrity, and transparency. Blockchain’s versatility allows companies to cooperate on a shielded environment with business partners safely. This paper details how permissioned blockchain networks can accommodate collaborative business models securely to provide thriving business alliances. Examples of cooperative business models and business relationship orientation are described here, as well as how they generate value when paired with permissioned blockchain networks - a more business-oriented variety of blockchain. To support this study’s endeavors, business use cases are presented to highlight how simple it is to put in place a permissioned blockchain to businesses to achieve tighter bonds with business partners. The use cases contain particular goals that enterprises seek to accomplish by partnering up with other companies, as well as how, with the employment of blockchain, they can attain them.

As blockchain technology matures, more sophisticated solutions arise regarding complex problems. Blockchain continues to spread towards various niches such as government, IoT, energy, and environmental industries. One often overlooked opportunity for blockchain is the social responsibility sector. Presented in this paper is a permissioned blockchain model that enables enterprises to come together and cooperate to optimize their environmental and societal impacts. This is made possible through a private or permissioned blockchain. Permissioned blockchains are blockchain networks where all the participants are known and trust relationships among them can be fostered more smoothly. An example of what a permissioned blockchain would look like is described in this paper as well as its implementation, achieved using Hyperledger Fabric, which is a business-oriented blockchain framework. This study touches on the benefits available for companies that are willing to engage in socially responsible causes through blockchain. It states in what ways a permissioned blockchain can bring together businesses on common ground to increase their reach and provide better customer service. Finally, a use case is provided to bring to life a real-world situation where blockchain use improves service quality for all the parties involved, both the companies and their customers.
