Traceability for Sustainable Trade A Framework to design Traceability Systems for Cross Border Trade
https://unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trade/Publications/ECE_TRADE_429E_TraceabilityForSustainableTrade.pdf


Traceability systems are often private sector driven as producers seek to promote certain claims about their products, however, government agencies may also have a significant role. Government intervention increases the complexity of traceability systems as it introduces new elements such as data-sharing, confidentiality of information, governance and regulatory compliance. This has the potential to impact on trade, especially when governments seek to protect consumers by requiring certain documents or data from traders in order to ensure the veracity of policy claims.

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has developed a framework for designing traceability systems in order to ensure that traceability is efficiently dealt with in cross-border trade so that it can better contribute to the sustainable development goals. This framework should be useful for government officials and private sector actors involved in designing and implementing traceability systems.

UNCTAD starts blockchain supply chain project
https://unctad.org/news/project-explores-blockchain-solutions-trade-facilitation
UNCTAD and five UN regional agencies on 28 June launched a four-year project on the use of blockchain to simplify and expedite import, export and transit procedures. Blockchain can help ease trade in the wake of supply chain crises, such as those emanating from the blockage of the Suez Canal, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine, which have caused catastrophic trade disruptions, especially in developing countries.

UN Guide to Traceability report (2015)
https://d306pr3pise04h.cloudfront.net/docs/issues_doc%2Fsupply_chain%2FTraceability%2FGuide_to_Traceability.pdf


The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of the importance of traceability for sustainability purposes, outline the global op- portunities and challenges it represents and summarize practical steps for implementing traceability programmes within companies. Research for this guide revealed that trace- ability is a tremendously impactful tool for advancing sustainability objectives, but it still has a long way to go before it is an integral part of sustainable supply chain management and is used widely by companies. At present, only a very small percentage of commodities are traceable on sustainability attributes.
