Founded in 2015, Everledger is an independent technology company that helps businesses surface and converge asset information using secure technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, intelligent labelling, and the Internet of Things. By focusing on industries where transparency is essential, the company strengthens trust between businesses and consumers while ensuring clarity throughout an asset’s lifecycle.

Everledger enables its clients to digitally streamline compliance processes. The solutions offered make it possible for businesses to demonstrate the history and journey of an asset with greater accuracy and efficiency. This not only helps meet industry regulations but also supports customers who seek verifiable evidence about what they purchase. Demonstrating an asset’s story from origin to ownership ensures the reliability of information, which is becoming increasingly essential across global marketplaces. Whether it involves precious resources, high-value goods, or sustainable materials, businesses can address consumer demands for ethical and transparent practices without compromising operational efficiency.  

The company’s role extends beyond compliance and traceability. By providing tools to highlight the resilience and sustainability of supply chains, Everledger partners with stakeholders to address some of the critical challenges industries face today. Digital tools deliver real-time visibility and enable businesses to monitor, share, and validate data seamlessly. These efforts empower organizations to take meaningful steps toward sustainability while sharing the benefits of transparency with all participants in the value chain. Producers, manufacturers, certification houses, and retailers gain confidence in evidencing the origin, quality, and characteristics of their assets. Consumers, in turn, can make more informed decisions, knowing they have access to verified and secure information through devices they use every day.  

Industries such as diamonds, fine wines, and electronic recycling exemplify how technology can bridge critical gaps between producers and consumers. Everledger enables stakeholders to demonstrate integrity in products where authenticity and provenance are key to maintaining value. For the diamond industry, for instance, blockchain technology makes it possible to document and verify a stone’s journey from mine to market. This reduces the risk of counterfeit products entering the supply chain while meeting ethical sourcing expectations. Certification houses can validate the processes, ensuring each asset is authenticated, while retailers benefit from transparency that resonates with their customers.  

In sectors like fine wine, where provenance determines both value and quality, Everledger’s solutions provide traceability to protect assets from fraud and misrepresentation. By digitizing essential details and combining them with intelligent labelling, businesses can monitor storage conditions, origin, and ownership histories. This system ensures that collectors, sellers, and buyers receive accurate and trustworthy information to support transactions. For e-recycling, the company plays a pivotal role in promoting accountability for asset disposal and reuse. Transparent reporting enables organizations to manage compliance requirements while encouraging more sustainable practices for electronic waste.  

Everledger’s technology works as a unifying solution for stakeholders across complex supply chains. Producers and manufacturers gain tools to validate their commitments to responsible practices. Certification houses provide assurances to businesses and customers through verifiable records. Retailers can offer additional value to their customers by ensuring products meet ethical standards. At the same time, consumers remain increasingly empowered as they gain visibility into every stage of an asset’s journey. Access to such information allows individuals to align purchasing decisions with their values and expectations. By promoting this collaboration, Everledger enables industries to strengthen relationships with customers while setting new benchmarks for transparency.  

For businesses operating in markets that prioritize integrity, Everledger’s technology provides a competitive advantage. Digitally securing data makes it easier to manage risks associated with counterfeiting, inefficiency, or non-compliance. The ability to converge asset information into a seamless platform ensures businesses can adapt to evolving market demands without sacrificing clarity or trust. By surfacing this information, the company creates an environment where data can be accessed, validated, and shared among stakeholders with confidence. This approach unlocks new opportunities for industries to showcase their efforts in ethical sourcing, sustainability, and innovation.  

Everledger’s commitment to innovation focuses on delivering practical solutions that solve real-world challenges. The application of blockchain and artificial intelligence ensures asset data remains immutable and accessible, creating a reliable record of truth. Intelligent labelling connects physical assets to their digital identities, bridging the gap between the physical and virtual worlds. The Internet of Things adds another layer of visibility, allowing businesses to monitor assets in real time as they move through supply chains. These technologies converge to make transparency scalable, efficient, and accessible.  

By partnering with businesses, Everledger drives measurable improvements across industries. The ability to evidence the origin, ownership, and value of assets provides stakeholders with the confidence they need to navigate today’s markets. Customers benefit from transparent systems where information is not only accurate but also available at their fingertips. Whether accessed through smartphones, desktops, or other devices, the information remains secure and readily accessible to support better decision-making.  

Through these efforts, Everledger contributes to creating more sustainable, transparent, and resilient ecosystems. By connecting stakeholders with verifiable data, the company ensures the value of industries is shared across every participant in the value chain. Businesses remain equipped to meet increasing demands for transparency, while customers gain confidence in the integrity of the assets they purchase. This collaborative approach enables industries to set new standards for trust, clarity, and sustainability in an ever-evolving global market.
