Latest insights

We compile and integrate diverse datasets on commodity production, storage, processing and trade, as well as data on deforestation and other environmental impacts.

We link agricultural commodity trade data to sourcing regions, both nationally and subnationally, using an enhanced form of material flow analysis called Spatially Explicit Information on Production to Consumption Systems (SEI-PCS).

Mapping supply chains

We combine Trase´s commodity sourcing data with geospatial data to quantify the exposure of individual traders and consumer markets to deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental impacts from commodity production.

Assessing impact exposure

We analyse data on company and import market exposure to deforestation and other impacts to identify priorities for action by businesses, governments and civil society to accelerate implementation of sustainability goals.

Actionable intelligence

Trase analyses supply chain and geospatial data to map the trade of agricultural commodities and link import markets and commodity traders with deforestation, carbon emissions and other sustainability impacts.

Methodology

Act on deforestation linked to imports while monitoring national sustainability progress.

Governments

Assess and act on exposure to deforestation in loans and investments.

Finance sector

Manage supply chain deforestation risks and drive progress towards sustainability goals.

Companies
