Mongabay reports that a new voluntary agreement between six commodities traders will make supply-chain data available, necessary for assessing the sustainability of soy-bean production in the Cerrado rainforest of Brazil.
SEI’s tool ‘Transparent supply chains for sustainable economies’ (TRASE) is one of the most useful data sets to work with, as it allows interested parties to follow trade flow to identify sourcing regions, profile supply chain risks to the environment (such as deforestation), and to assess opportunities for sustainable production.
TRASE is built with the help of modelled projections because traders haven’t, up until now, been willing to disclose municipal level procurement data. This new agreement may spur more companies to share data that can be used to improve sustainability assessment of supply chains.
Press release / Some 17,500 km² of Brazil’s Cerrado has been cleared in the last 11 years to make way for soy plantations, according to new analysis by Trase.
Feature / New countries, new commodities, new indicators, and new levels of accuracy are now available on the Trase forest-risk supply chain transparency platform.
Perspective / On World Food Day, we ask how the Trase initiative's supply chain transparency data can help achieve Zero Hunger sustainably.
