Blue EcoChain enables brands to track their suppliers in China for environmental compliance at scale, and receive automated updates on regulatory violations and environmental remediation as well as carbon and pollutant data disclosure continuously on a large scale. Powered by IPE's Blue Map Database and AI technology, Blue EcoChain provides the most efficient means of supply chain oversight for environmental and carbon risks.

What's more, by allowing multiple parties, including suppliers themselves, access to synchronized alerts, Blue EcoChain shifts the conventional dynamic of brands policing suppliers to one of equal participation, in which suppliers feel individually responsible for compliance problems as they arise, without the need for a push from their clients each time. Blue EcoChain thereby forges partnerships in environmental risk management centered on solving problems expeditiously.
