Supply Chain ESG Traceability
Precision ESG Sourcing from Finished Goods to Raw Material Origins
KYG Trade empowers ESG and responsible sourcing professionals with granular traceability at the SKU and BOM level, not just across supplier networks. Instead of relying on macro-level inferences, KYG enables a complete origin trace trail—from finished products upstream to raw material sources like mines, fields, smelters, and melters. Every step in the physical product’s movement and production process is captured, including inventory transitions across factories and production lines, backed by full documentation and audit-ready records.
