Sigalmark is proud to announce a landmark partnership with Sustainability West Midlands (SWM), one of the UK's most respected
regional sustainability networks. Together, we are transforming how membership status is verified, displayed, and trusted —
replacing traditional logo usage with real-time, blockchain-backed digital credentials.
The Challenge
For years, membership organisations like SWM have relied on static logos and PDF certificates to represent a member's affiliation.
The problem? These can be copied, shared by non-members, and quickly become outdated when a membership lapses. There is no simple
way for the public, partners, or regulators to verify whether a displayed logo represents a current, active membership.
The Solution
Through Sigalmark, each SWM member now receives an NFT-backed QR code — a digital twin of their membership credential. This
Sigalmark can be displayed on websites, email signatures, printed materials, or ID cards. When scanned, it links directly to the
Sigalmark verification portal, instantly confirming:
- Whether the membership is active, expired, or revoked
- Who issued the credential
- When it was last validated
SWM retains full control through the Sigalmark SaaS dashboard, where they can issue new credentials, update member status, and
revoke access in real time — all without requiring any technical expertise.
Why It Matters
This partnership represents a shift in how trust is built within regional business networks. By digitising their membership marks,
SWM is reducing administrative overhead, eliminating the risk of credential misuse, and giving their members a verifiable way to
demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.
"We wanted a solution that was simple for our members but robust enough to protect the integrity of what our membership stands
for," said a representative from Sustainability West Midlands. "Sigalmark delivers exactly that."
What's Next
The SWM partnership serves as a model for how membership organisations across the UK can modernise their credentialing. Sigalmark
is actively working with organisations in education, professional accreditation, and corporate sustainability to bring the same
level of trust and transparency to their networks.
If your organisation issues memberships, certifications, or accreditations, we'd love to show you how Sigalmark can help.
