We are proud to present our members

The following organizations are members or in the process of becoming members. Our members and future members strive to use transparency as a transformative tool in their business. While they all have their own products, missions and are at a different stage of transparency implementation, they all strive to uphold the highest levels of transparency. Not only on what they know about their chain, products and processes, but also on what they don’t yet know.

Learn more below about each members business, products, transparency journey and how to visit them.
