  Content	NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / ESG and supply chain integrity aren't lacking because companies lack ambition. It's lacking because the entire system ran on unverifiable claims. Corporations published emissions reductions without forensic tracking. Brands declared recycled content with no way to validate the number. Supply chains issued sourcing statements that fell apart the moment materials left their country of origin. Stakeholders wanted clarity but got guesswork. Regulators wrote tougher rules but couldn't enforce them. No, these two didn't lose credibility because they aimed too high. They lost credibility because they measured nothing accurately. SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) built the one element ESG and supply chain never had: truth, and proof, anchored to the materials themselves. Not disclosures. Not affidavits. Not third-party certificates that collapse when a supplier changes hands. SMX gives materials a molecular identity that follows them through every transformation. These two didn't need a new narrative. They needed evidence. SMX built the architecture that produces it. The System Collapsed Because the Data Was Never Real Most ESG reports were built like a house on sand. A company could claim 40% recycled content, but nobody could confirm it after the plastic was shredded, melted, pelletized, and shipped across three borders. A copper supplier could declare ethical sourcing, but manufacturers had no way to verify anything that happened upstream. Paper trails were designed for a world with two-step supply chains. Today's supply chains have dozens. Global commerce outgrew ESG's verification tools, and the charade eventually broke. Investors stopped believing the numbers. Consumers stopped trusting the labels. Regulators saw that they were enforcing frameworks with no forensic foundation. Even companies that wanted to do the right thing couldn't prove their own compliance. ESG wasn't fraudulent. It was blind. That changes the moment materials can speak for themselves. SMX Embedded Truth Into the Material, Not the Paperwork SMX solved the credibility crisis by eliminating the weakest link. Its molecular markers go inside the plastic, metal, textile, rubber, or composite itself. They survive heat, pressure, melting, reprocessing, and recycling. They cannot be faked. They cannot be separated from the product. They act like a built-in passport that declares origin, composition, recycled content, and compliance without relying on any external document. A polymer that becomes pellets retains its identity. A textile that crosses five factories keeps its history. And a metal alloy that gets welded, cut, or reformed still knows its composition. This is the moment ESG stops being a story and becomes a measurement. These markers are tied to a digital ledger that provides an auditable chain of custody. Every step is logged automatically. Nothing relies on memory or narrative. ESG reporting becomes physical evidence rather than marketing copy. Where ESG Lost Trust, Proof Brings It Back The world didn't reject sustainability. It rejected unverifiable sustainability. SMX's deployments show how quickly trust returns when evidence becomes the foundation. Singapore's A*STAR program is using SMX to build a plastics circularity system rooted in traceable identity. Recycling claims didn't come from estimates. They came from scans. REDWAVE's sorting systems showed that authenticated materials could be separated with higher precision, producing cleaner, higher-value recycled outputs. That means brands can publish sustainability metrics that regulators can validate and investors can trust. When the reporting matches physical reality, the ESG and supply chain conversation shifts from persuasion to proof. And proof restores confidence faster than any regulatory overhaul. SMX Technology Can Become the ESG's New Infrastructure That's timely. The world's sustainability frameworks are about to collide with global enforcement mandates that demand real data. SMX, now with the capital to meet that moment, stands at the precipice of transforming itself from a breakthrough technology company into a backbone provider capable of deploying verification across packaging, metals, textiles, electronics, and industrial supply chains at scale. This is the turning point. ESG, and everything attached to it, can only function when verification becomes universal. Sustainability goals mean nothing without verification that can withstand cross-border supply chains and industrial processing. Investors cannot price risk when disclosures rely on trust. Regulators cannot enforce rules built on paperwork. And, today, more than ever, consumers will not choose products that can't prove their own claims. SMX gives companies the one thing ESG never had: material-level certainty. No estimates. No narratives. And no blind spots. Just proof. The companies that adopt this model will lead the next era of ESG because the market rewards transparency. Investors reward accuracy. Regulators reward evidence. And consumers reward truth. Get all that, and everyone wins, including the planet. About SMX As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.
