Sustainability
Verifiable Impact, Not Marketing Claims
We do not call ourselves sustainable. We publish the data and let you decide. Every premium paid, every sensor reading recorded, every document verified — all available for independent audit.
Our Approach
Four Pillars of Verifiable Impact
Instead of certifications and badges, we provide raw data. Instead of promises, we provide audit trails.
150-280%
Premium above C-price
Published Producer Premiums
We publish the exact farmgate price and premium above the C-price for every lot. Buyers see where their money goes. Producers see what buyers pay. No hidden margins.
Ethiopian Guji cooperatives on our platform currently receive $3.20-4.50/lb farmgate, representing premiums of 150-280% above the ICE C-price commodity benchmark.
Real-time
IoT environmental data
Environmental Monitoring
IoT sensors track temperature, humidity, and GPS coordinates from origin through transit. This data is not just for quality assurance — it creates a verifiable environmental footprint for every shipment.
Sensor data is ingested in real-time batches, stored immutably, and available for carbon footprint calculation. Threshold policies trigger automatic alerts for any deviation.
Farm-level
GPS traceability
EUDR Compliance Ready
Our traceability infrastructure — GPS coordinates, farm-level data, custody chain documentation — aligns with EU Deforestation Regulation requirements. Every lot can be traced to the specific farm or cooperative of origin.
Location nodes, trace events with trust levels, and custody chain handoffs provide the deforestation-free verification data that EUDR compliance demands.
100%
Actions audited
Cryptographic Audit Trails
Every transaction, document upload, quality result, and status change is recorded in a cryptographic hash chain. This creates an immutable, independently verifiable record that cannot be altered after the fact.
Integrity verification is available via API. Any tampering with historical records would break the cryptographic chain and be immediately detectable.
Producer Equity
Where Every Dollar Goes
We publish the full price waterfall for every lot — from farmgate to delivered cost. Producers see what buyers pay. Buyers see what producers receive. No hidden margins.
Example breakdown for Ethiopian Guji Natural G1, delivered to the Southeast US at $7.30/lb:
Price Waterfall — ETH Guji Natural G1
52% of the delivered price goes directly to the cooperative. Published for every lot.
Transparency Over Branding
We Replace Claims with Data
The specialty commodity industry is full of unverifiable marketing language. Here is how our approach differs.
Industry Claim
"Sustainably sourced"
Vague. No data. No verification. Usually just a marketing label.
Our Approach
We publish the specific farmgate price, premium percentage, cupping score, and full chain of custody for every lot.
Industry Claim
"Direct trade"
No standard definition. Often means one less intermediary, not truly direct.
Our Approach
We publish every entity in the supply chain and the value captured at each stage. You can verify "direct" means what it says.
Industry Claim
"Fair pricing"
Fair compared to what? Usually no reference point or benchmark.
Our Approach
We display the ICE C-price market benchmark alongside our farmgate prices, so "fair" has a measurable, verifiable reference.
Industry Claim
"Carbon neutral shipping"
Often relies on offset credits of questionable value.
Our Approach
We publish real sensor data from every shipment. Environmental impact data is raw and verifiable, not a marketing claim.
