FAQ
  • How is ReSource's approach to supply chain transparency different from others?
    ReSource uniquely provides granular traceability data from top mineral suppliers, precise control over data access and privacy, and a structured ESG framework for standardized data management. It adopts proactive compliance with AI-driven sustainability risk analysis and offers an integrated interface ensuring accountability throughout every stage of the supply chain.
  • What steps should I take now to establish a compliant chain of custody by August 2025?
    Start by clearly identifying and mapping your supply chain processes. Use a traceability and ESG compliance platform, like ReSource, to collect verified data from suppliers, establish standardized ESG reporting, and proactively manage compliance through ongoing risk analysis. Regularly audit and update your processes to ensure full alignment with regulatory standards ahead of the deadlines.
  • Do I need to reveal every supplier’s identity to achieve full supply chain transparency?
    No, full transparency doesn't always require disclosing every supplier's identity. Instead, it focuses on verifying compliance, traceability, and ESG standards across your supply chain. With ReSource, you have granular control over data access, enabling you to share necessary information without compromising sensitive supplier identities.
