Unlocking Transparency: Sourcemap Highlighted in Proforest’s Open Data Report

As global regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) place new data demands on global supply chains, a new report by Proforest explores how open data and digital tools can bridge critical information gaps. In this scoping study, Sourcemap is identified as a key private sector solution helping companies navigate these evolving requirements.

The report, titled "Open Data for Supply Chain Due Diligence," recognizes Sourcemap as a specialized tool for traceability and risk management. It highlights how Sourcemap’s technology allows businesses to:

• Map Complex Networks: Connect multiple tiers of the supply chain to gain end-to-end visibility.

• Identify Compliance Risks: Detect deforestation, labor issues, and other legal vulnerabilities.

• Streamline Reporting: Support the assessment of supplier compliance and the generation of necessary due diligence documentation.

Proforest emphasizes that while private solutions like Sourcemap are already being leveraged by downstream companies, the long-term goal is to harmonize these efforts with national government systems to ensure inclusive and sustainable trade for all producers.
