OpenSC

Transforming global food systems is key to tackling the climate crisis and protecting people and planet.

Why we exist
That is why at OpenSC, we work in key commodities with large companies to VERIFY low-carbon and sustainable food production at source.

Co-founded by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) and BCG Digital Ventures, OpenSC is a social impact venture.

What we do
Our platform uses data collected directly from our customer’s supply chains and continuously analyses it to VERIFY claims such as:

Ensuring truly deforestation-free palm oil
We verify that palm oil fruit actually come from legal and deforestation-free plantations

Confirming the right payments to coffee farmers
We verify fair payment to every farmer – the key to ensuring a living income and reducing land-use-change pressure

Only fishing where it is sustainable to do so
We verify that no fishing happens in marine reserves and our technology can continuously monitor where fishing happens
