Description of Invention
EcoHub is an innovative digital platform designed to bridge the gap between small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly those in rural areas, and verified green suppliers. As sustainability regulations and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards become increasingly critical to business continuity and growth, many SMEs are left behind due to limited access to sustainable sourcing, lack of awareness, and underdeveloped local supplier readiness. EcoHub addresses these challenges by offering a three-pronged solution: a Sustainable Supplier Marketplace for discovering certified green vendors, a Community Networking Hub to foster knowledge-sharing and partnerships, and Blockchain-Powered Supply Chain Transparency to ensure trust and accountability in ESG compliance. By empowering SMEs with the tools, connections, and information they need, EcoHub promotes inclusive green growth, streamlines regulatory adherence, and contributes to the development of resilient local economies, aligning strongly with national sustainability goals and global SDG targets
