Spatial indicators methodology

Spatial indicators

In systematically linking individual supply chain actors with specific production regions, Trase not only links actors to places, but also to environmental impacts and investment opportunities associated with different production areas – with a particular focus on deforestation risk. Trase unlocks the value of vast spatial data sets on deforestation and other environmental and social impacts, as well as the agricultural, economic and political conditions associated with different production regions, for the benefit of downstream actors.

If you are interested in more detail, please see our methodology on how Trase assesses ‘commodity deforestation’ and ‘commodity deforestation exposure’ (previously commodity deforestation risk).
