The ConsenSource project, which was initiated in 2018 and Target recently open-sourced, was primarily focused on the certification of suppliers for the company’s own paper manufacturing. Target has been “working directly with the forest managers and certification boards” studying the technology and trying to figure out what data can be shared on a distributed ledger, CoinDesk cited the company’s vice president of architecture.
