Verifik8 to utilize Diginex blockchain tool eMin to help protect agribusiness workers

Verifik8 to utilize Diginex blockchain tool eMin to help protect agribusiness workers

Diginex, a global blockchain solutions company, today announced it has signed a long-term agreement with Verifik8, a data intelligence and analytics provider for agribusiness suppliers, to help protect workers in the aquaculture sector in Thailand from exploitation by utilizing blockchain technology.

eMin, is a blockchain-enabled tool developed by Diginex in partnership with the antislavery NGO Mekong Club, designed to help eradicate modern slavery through the worker recruitment process by recording employment contracts in a secure, traceable manner. Diginex, Mekong Club and Verifik8 share the same view that that employers, in both the private or public sector, can be the primary drivers of positive change towards resolving serious issues across the globe.

As part of the agreement, Verifik8 will integrate eMin into its existing farming monitoring tools called Blue 8/Green 8, which are already being used by 5,000 workers on the ground in Thailand.

“We are excited by the potential of this project, which validates the use of the technology for socially important causes but also demonstrates long-term value for migrant workers in Thailand.”
– Ms. Margaret Tongue, Deputy Head of Mission, British Embassy Bangkok

Pilot Stage / Agreement

“We are proud to be able to move from a pilot stage to wholesale rollout. This agreement is a natural progression in the evolution of eMin – proving that blockchain can have a positive impact and is more than just a ledger of transactions. Migrant workers can now own their data and can easily access their own contracts using this tool.”
– Mr. Mark Blick, Head of Government Solutions at Diginex

This agreement comes following the successful pilot with Verifik8 in February 2019, in which the tool was piloted at a shrimp farm in Phuket, Thailand.

From the initial stages of the pilot, this project has been funded in part by the British Embassy in Bangkok, which has been a vocal supporter of finding new and inventive solutions to modern slavery, following the enactment of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015. The UK has been at the forefront of advancing transparency in supply chains to reduce forced labor at home and abroad since then.

“We were impressed by the results of the pilot and can see the potential of rolling out the eMin functionality across the employers we partner with, which will reach thousands of workers on hundreds of farms in Thailand. eMin shares our mission in building an industry solution that enables an inclusive data ecosystem, which will drive a race to the top for responsible supply chains.”
– Verifik8’s CEO, Ms. Emmanuelle Bourgois
