Methodology
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.
1Data integration
We compile and integrate diverse datasets on commodity production, storage, processing and trade, as well as data on deforestation and other environmental impacts.
2Mapping supply chains
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).
3Assessing impact exposure
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.
4Actionable intelligence
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.
