The United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP) provides a solution to the transparency challenges facing the world's supply chains.

By implementing a simple protocol that can be supported by existing business systems, stakeholders will realise immediate benefits and will become visible contributors to the sustainability of global supply chains.

The UNTP focuses on interoperability standards that allow any technology platform to participate in interoperable and sustainable value chains. The UNTP defines an architecture comprising standards for product data, facility data, traceability data, conformity data, and identity data.

Its development was motivated by the practical challenges that United Nations (UN) Member States face in advancing implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #sdg12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns of the UN 2030 Agenda. The focus of the protocol is on ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns through traceability in value chains.
