Trase’s mission is to deliver systemic change in commodity markets, supply chains and production landscapes. Founded in 2015, Trase has a decade of experience working at the forefront of supply chain transparency and sustainability. Under the 2025–2030 strategy, Trase will continue to provide and develop the transparency, open-access data and intelligence needed to:

• Enable, accelerate and critically assess the delivery of existing supply chain interventions by prioritising the actions, places and markets in most urgent need of attention.
• Identify, evaluate and promote opportunities to scale up impact and improve the responsiveness of decision makers to changing risks and opportunities.

Trase will take on future challenges and meet the evolving needs of its by the following steps:

• Diversify its open-access data offering by providing comprehensive global data on commodity trade, granular asset-level data on processing facilities, and impact data on climate, biodiversity, water and human rights violations.
• Provide actionable intelligence on priorities for action, the effectiveness of existing measures, emerging deforestation frontiers and impacts, as well as opportunities for innovation.
• Scrutinize emerging and domestic markets, including Brazil’s consumption of beef as the single largest forest risk commodity market in the world and China as the largest global import market of forest-risk commodities.
• Help governments, businesses and civil society build capacity to make sense of data, understand the adequacy of existing data solutions and the limits of current interventions, encouraging a more honest dialogue on what works and does not.
• Foster greater agility by decision makers in response to changes in both the data and policy landscape, as well as wider supply chain disruptions due to climate impacts and geopolitical dynamics.
