In partnership with IBM, Ford Motor Company, LG Chem, and other leaders in responsible mineral sourcing, RCS Global has launched the ground-breaking Responsible Sourcing Blockchain Network. Using Hyperledger Fabric and the on-the-ground expertise from the RCS Global Group, the RSBN gives member companies increased transparency and insights into their supply chain, while providing the ability to generate consensus over conditions and supply chain performance.

The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) published an RCS Global Group research paper on the opportunities and challenges of blockchain for the traceability of minerals.

Through global audit programs and Better Cobalt monitoring, RCS Global generates valuable high-quality supply chain data from the field that can be easily integrated with blockchain based systems. Our Systems Team can assist the data ontology process to ensure interoperability with industry guidelines.
