Signed and oversaw cooperation between DNV and VeChain aimed at using blockchain to document supply chains and issue digital quality certificates. Under these agreements, DNV conducted pilot projects where conformity checks and audit reports were linked to data recorded on the VeChainThor blockchain. DNV leadership adapted methodologies and standards in pilots to work with on-chain evidence, including implementing procedures for RFID verification and digital signatures, as well as publishing practical cases for corporate clients. These steps contributed to the recognition of blockchain solutions in industrial certification cycles. DNV's public support and participation provided normative-institutional legitimacy to the project, aiding in negotiations with clients and regulators. The result was expanded commercial cases, which increased demand for the VeChainThor chain from industry players, affecting the token's utility and the network's appeal for corporate integrations.
