Bespoke · ESG & Supply Chain Provenance

Prove where your products came from — and what happened to them

Sustainability claims need evidence. QR-Inventory creates a QR-linked provenance record for every product or batch — giving your supply chain the transparency your customers, auditors, and regulators increasingly require.

Offline-capable scanning, a tamper-evident record and evidence you can hand to an auditor.

The problem

What we hear from ESG & Supply Chain Provenance teams.

These are the failure points operators describe before they change anything — and each one is a gap in the evidence you would need if the record were ever challenged. Spreadsheets don't survive an audit.

Problem 01

Sustainability claims not backed by verifiable supply chain data

Problem 02

ESG reporting relies on supplier self-declaration rather than evidenced tracking

Problem 03

EU supply chain due diligence regulations (CSDDD) creating new documentation requirements

Problem 04

No mechanism to give end customers or auditors access to provenance data

The configuration

How QR-Inventory is built for ESG & Supply Chain Provenance.

The platform already holds the register, the scanning workflow and the immutable audit trail. The bespoke layer is what makes the record recognisable to your team and acceptable to whoever inspects it.

Digital product passports

QR-linked records showing origin, journey, and certification.

Supply chain mapping

Track materials from source supplier through every processing stage.

ESG audit trail

Immutable scan history for every movement in the chain.

Certification management

Store and link certificates (organic, Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, etc.) to batches.

Consumer-facing QR

Optional public-facing scan page showing provenance summary to end customers.

CSDDD readiness

Documentation structure aligned to EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence requirements.

Every capability above runs on a standard smartphone camera, online or off. Confirm your own statutory scope with your regulator or assessor — QR-Inventory produces the evidence, it does not replace the duty.

Where it is used

The jobs this configuration is built for.

Most ESG & Supply Chain Provenance deployments look like one of these. If yours does, the configuration is largely written already.

Use case 01

Premium food and drink brands proving ingredient origin to retail buyers

Use case 02

Manufacturers responding to EU CSDDD supply chain due diligence requirements

Use case 03

B Corp and sustainability-certified businesses evidencing supply chain claims

Use case 04

Retailers requiring supplier-level provenance data for own-label products

Something else? A scoping call establishes whether your workflow is a variation on one of these or a genuinely new record type.

What you get

The record, and the reason to trust it.

ESG & Provenance

QR-linked provenance for consumer transparency

Consumer-facing QR codes on packaging can link directly to a provenance summary — showing the origin of key ingredients, the certifications held, and the journey from farm or factory to shelf. QR-Inventory generates and manages these records as a natural extension of the internal supply chain tracking workflow, with no additional system required.

In every ESG & Supply Chain Provenance build

A record that holds up after the fact

Whatever the configuration, the underlying record works the same way: appended, attributed and hash-chained, so nothing can be back-dated or quietly corrected.

FAQ

Questions we get from ESG & Supply Chain Provenance teams.

What is the EU CSDDD and do we need to comply?
The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive requires companies above certain thresholds to identify and address human rights and environmental risks in their supply chains. QR-Inventory's documentation structure is designed to support the evidence requirements this creates — though you should take specific legal advice on your obligations.
Can end customers scan the QR code and see provenance information?
Yes. You control what is visible on the consumer-facing scan page — from a simple origin summary to detailed certification records. The internal operational data remains private.
Does it replace a blockchain traceability system?
For most SMEs, a well-structured and tamper-evident QR record system achieves the same practical outcome as blockchain-based traceability at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
