Together with Tradin Organic, Fairfood set out to develop a dashboard that addresses key ESG challenges. As we wrap up this project, we are excited to share how Navigate shows promise as a centralized platform for ESG data. By bringing together key ESG data into one unified view, Navigate could help companies enhance traceability, transparency, and gain a competitive edge in sustainable supply chains amidst evolving EU regulations. 

For EU companies, a lot is changing in the regulatory landscape. With upcoming legislation on corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD), due diligence (CSDDD), and deforestation-free products (EUDR), there is a growing need for:

  • Farm-to-fork traceability: Social and ecological sustainability are often tied to what happens at the first mile - the farm. Compliance with legislation, thus, relies on knowing where products come from.
  • Data quality and transparency: Making quality sustainability data understandable and accessible is key for creating transparency and trust.
  • Database integration: Combining public and company-specific data is needed to make substantiated claims on supply chain sustainability.
  • Competitive advantage: As sustainability slowly begins to be the norm, how can a brand distinguish itself from others on sustainability efforts?

“Navigate is showing promise as a centralized ESG platform. By bringing together data from for different certifications, and other key ESG indicators that are often scattered across various sources, Navigate has the potential to offer a unified, comprehensive view of impact-related data that could prove valuable for businesses.”   – Tradin Organic Sustainability Team

Assessing compliance risks

Fairfood and Tradin Organic, with financial support from GIZ, set out to develop a ESG dashboard as an add-on to Fairfood’s Trace platform. This tool could potentially enable companies to integrate public and private databases, offering a comprehensive view of  CSR risks within their supply chains. As new legislation on deforestation, reporting, and due diligence comes into effect, Navigate provides with the ability to visualize and clarify a broad range of ESG data, and identity and understand potential risks, supporting more informed decision-making and sustainable practices.

How can we do that? We aim to integrate a system that can: 

  • Centralize Data: Combine all ESG-related data in one centralized platform.
  • Visualize Information: Develop visualization tools to present data clearly and effectively.
  • Provide Batch Level Responses: Connects to traceability system(s) to address client questions at batch level.
  • Enhance Client Satisfaction: Streamline processes to provide timely and comprehensive answers, improving decision-making and client satisfaction.

Looking for partners!

In an era where regulatory compliance and sustainability are not just buzzwords but business imperatives, this new dashboard serves as more than just a tool—it's a strategic asset. It not only provides companies with the flexibility to support various regulatory requirements and sustainability standards, but also simplifies data management, ensuring comprehensive data coverage and analysis. 

By harnessing the power of data, our platform allows companies to confidently navigate the complexities of the EU’s evolving regulatory landscape and, consequently, enhance decision-making processes. As we conclude this project, the potential for businesses to not only meet but exceed compliance requirements becomes evident.
