Our mission
Our mission is to help retailers, producers and traders create transparent and sustainable supply chains. Supply chains that respect people, the planet, and the law. Through reliable data and actionable insights, we empower our clients to meet ESG regulatory requirements, reduce CO2 emissions and improve livelihoods throughout the entire supply chain.
What we strive for
We firmly believe that retailers, producers and traders can turn their purchasing power into a force for good. By using their buying power to make a positive impact, they can be the drivers of positive change around the globe. For us, it’s clear: making money and doing good can and must go together. This is essential for the world we live in today, and generations to come.

We’re very proud of our international team of experts, fluent in over 22 languages, ensuring seamless collaboration with producers, traders and suppliers worldwide. With flexible working hours spanning global time zones and deep local insights, our specialists maintain a clear view of supply chains all the way to the source. They know what happens at the ‘far end’ with producers, enabling precise primary data analysis, thorough validations, and tailored advice on compliance with regulations like CSRD and EUDR.

Our history

Since then, we have been developing consultancy and training products to help clients move beyond compliance and achieve Proven Positive Impact. This we do, next to our already existing supplier- and productdatabase and data gathering & verification services. In 2019 we proudly became a certified B-corporation.
