Data Gumbo is focused on industrial markets including energy, construction, waste management, mining, manufacturing and others.

 

“Our membership in RFA is indicative of the growing importance for accurate, transparent and auditable transactions,” said Andrew Bruce, Founder and CEO, Data Gumbo. “Data Gumbo’s smart contracts can pave the way for RFA members to navigate the digital transformation in the renewable fuels sector to combat fraud, traceability issues and build trust between parties and counterparties.”

 

“In today’s world, data security is critical to a company’s success, as is the ability to adapt quickly to new technologies, and this is what makes Data Gumbo a great fit for as an associate member of the Renewable Fuels Association,” said  RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper. “As new marketplace opportunities—like carbon markets—continue to emerge and evolve, participants need tools that ensure transparency and accountability across the entire supply chain. We look forward to Data Gumbo’s  involvement with our membership, as we all navigate demands for a more transparent and responsible business environment.”
