Spatial Intelligence Labs

What we do

Our Spatial Intelligence Lab involves spatial and non-spatial data management. This covers the following specialized areas to support the value-chain transformation.

Supplier Group Monitoring Platform 

We monitor agriculture and forestry supply-chain NDPE commitments with experienced helpdesk support on the engagement and verification findings for accurate, reliable, and actionable market decisions.

Deforestation and damage to natural resources often occur off the grid of established supply chains. Together with a network of local and international partners, Earthqualizer's team of investigators is working to ensure social and environmental justice is done. 

 Earthqualizer is taking the following actions in response to deforestation:

• Collecting on-the-ground data related to social and environmental impacts 

• Monitoring known company land banks 

• Reporting on land clearing in plantations

Supply chain Traceability

We explore, analyze and understand the complexity of supply chains with updated and on the ground tracing verification.

Industry transformation is possible only when decision-makers embrace the need to change and commit to action. Through our “traceability to decision-makers” research, we unravel the tangled world of private company ownership, helping buyers, investors, and their business partners to have a more positive impact. 

• We map out business relationships. 

• We investigate and uncover corporate activities at the group level

• We document evidence of non-compliance with NPDE sourcing policies

• We provide downstream procurement managers with a robust toolkit used to implement their company sustainability goals

• We achieve social and environmental justice by ensuring accountability and traceability

Global Supplier Directory

Our “one-stop” digital directory of global agriculture and forestry business and comprehensive sustainability information

Social Platform

We provide global near-real-time agriculture and forestry-related social issues information to support the non-exploitation policies

Community Drone Fleet Initiative

We source reliable on-the-ground information from local experts for accurate and credible decision-making

Thematic Spatial Analysis Reports

We deliver credible and accurate thematic spatial analysis report to support NDPE policies, such as Top Deforested reports, Fire Burning reports, and Stranded Land reports

Transform Platform

Our Transform by Action Platform is a commodity trade data platform designed to enable business-to-business verification of No Deforestation claims

'Deforestation-free' Claim Assessments

We assess agriculture and forestry commodities’ supply chains from a ‘Deforestation-Free’ claim with high accuracy and comprehensive data sourced from plantations, mills and refineries, up to group levels

There is a growing need for suppliers, such as growers and refiners, to issue credible ‘Deforestation-Free’ claims and calculations. Such a claim makes a statement about the impact of the company’s supply chain on environmental and social value areas.

‘Deforestation-Free’ assessment methodologies are still in the early stages of development. However, Earthqualizer believes that the following minimum requirements should apply to individual (suppliers) as a necessary first step:

• Meeting legal requirements with regards to land utilization for oil palm plantations

• Commitment to the implementation of NDPE policy at the group level.

• Ready to implement traceability systems to identify the origin of production for all Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFBs).

‘Deforestation-Free’ claims may cover the direct mill supply base and/or the full group supplier supply base.

We anticipate that ‘Deforestation-Free’ claims may evolve as they progress from first-party to a second party and finally to third party evaluations.

Methodology

Earthqualizer works to connect environmental degradation with marketplace decision-makers. Whilst we have not yet won the war against deforestation, we do win many battles by providing timely insights regarding environmental and social safeguards. These insights are informed by cutting edge methodologies and technology, including:

• Artificial Intelligence applying machine learning, deep learning, and other techniques

• Natural-language generation

• Aerial monitoring with an expansive drone fleet

Our Key Data

We combine spatial and non-spatial key information for accurate, updated and reliable analysis
