Trase is a not-for-profit initiative founded in 2015 by the Stockholm Environment Institute and Global Canopy to bring transparency to deforestation and agricultural commodity trade.

To increase understanding and transparency around commodity supply chains and their links to deforestation and other impacts, in order to support and promote a global transition to a more sustainable and equitable system of commodity production and consumption.

Trase’s mission is to deliver systemic change in commodity markets, supply chains and production landscapes.

The Spatially Explicit Information on Production to Consumption Systems (SEI-PCS) model

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.
