and mutually recognized governments. The Trusted Factory Program will blockchain over 18,000 factories within the SCAN database and provide viewer rights to those permissioned members and governments.

“As a Tier III CTPAT business partner The Home Depot continually strives for improvements in its supply chain security platform. Membership in SCAN has delivered both an effective platform as well as cost savings through the use of shared audits. Adding a secured block chain element

With the intention of this level of integrity and security leading to a “trusted factory” program with the various regulatory agencies further costs should be driven out of the supply chain.” Ken McElroy, Mgr. Global Trade Risk, The Home Depot
