Relevant data, particularly on ESG criteria, needs to be accessible through standardised interfaces, as opposed to being collected in a redundant and uncoordinated fashion through a multitude of databases. While a variety of databases and reporting platforms already exist, they are mostly fragmented. A decentralised network of systems could represent an option to reduce friction in data and transaction flows, while improving on data standards for infrastructure performance reporting (Mattila and Seppala, 2015). While centralised entities have many advantages, complex multi-party relationships that require a high degree of transparency and immutable data trails are arguably better served by decentralised blockchain ledgers. The advantages provided by blockchain technology are summarised in Table 2. Decentralised ledgers and transaction networks can be a catalyst for standardisation and transparent monitoring, reporting and steering of data collection.
