But customers, investors, and regulatory authorities expect transparent answers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where do the materials come from?<\/li>\n<li>How are they processed?<\/li>\n<li>What proportion of sustainable raw materials is actually in the product?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chain-of-custody (CoC) systems create this transparency. They provide credible proof of the use of sustainable materials and make supply chains verifiable.
