The world’s first Value Chain Management System Altana and Epoch Blue, an environmental monitoring and Scope 3 emissions decarbonisation platform, announced an alliance to enhance transparency and decarbonisation capabilities across agriculture and forestry supply chains. This will be done by combining Altana’s Value Chain Management System with Epoch Blue’s environmental intelligence and insetting capabilities, enabling Altana’s users to leverage Epoch Blue’s comprehensive environmental monitoring capabilities.
“This is an important step toward a global net zero carbon footprint for public and private organizations alike. We are thrilled to join Epoch Blue, enabling customers to ensure their suppliers are using their land sustainably and to reduce their carbon footprint. The Altana platform offers a unified approach to managing extended supplier and distribution networks that are built on the only dynamic, intelligent map of the global supply chain, and Epoch Blue’s data makes us that much more valuable to our customers,” said Evan Smith, co-founder and CEO, Altana.
Jinal Surti, co-founder and CEO, Epoch Blue said, “The combination of traceability of supplier and distribution networks and globally scalable and cost-effective environmental monitoring is a key to unlocking the decarbonisation of global supply chains.”
This strategic alliance enables end-to-end traceability of carbon and deforestation impacts of agricultural commodities across entire value chains. It provides the ability to allocate environmental outcomes of a product to specific entities within a value chain, fostering transparency, accountability, and improved economics. The partnership facilitates the generation of Product Carbon Footprints (PCF) for products with global and complex value chains. Additionally, it supports seamless collaboration between suppliers and buyers within the Altana platform, allowing for the sharing of information upstream and downstream through company and product profiles.
