OpenSC

OpenSC is an innovative company that specializes in the verification of sustainable and low-carbon food production. Given that approximately 34% of greenhouse gas emissions and 70% of biodiversity loss are caused by food production, OpenSC leverages cutting-edge technologies to address these challenges. The company collaborates with large corporations to verify the production of key raw materials directly at the source, ensuring that it is sustainable and ethical.

OpenSC offers a range of services aimed at increasing transparency and traceability in supply chains. The main services include:

• Verification: OpenSC verifies claims about sustainable and ethical production. This is done automatically, continuously, and at the product level, with the data being immutable.
• Traceability: Products are tracked throughout the entire supply chain to ensure they meet sustainability standards.
• Information Sharing: OpenSC shares powerful information in both B2B and B2C sectors to strengthen consumer trust and meet the demand for transparency.

The mission of OpenSC is to solve critical climate, sustainability, and social challenges. The company aims to help businesses verify responsible production in their supply chains, thereby creating incentives for behavioral changes among supply chain actors. OpenSC places great importance on building trust with consumers and meeting the ESG financial requirements of investors.

OpenSC actively promotes sustainable practices. Key initiatives include:

• Deforestation-Free Palm Oil: OpenSC verifies that palm oil fruits actually come from legal and deforestation-free plantations.
• Fair Payments to Coffee Farmers: The company ensures that every farmer is paid fairly to guarantee a living income and reduce the pressure for land use changes.
• Sustainable Fishing: OpenSC continuously monitors to ensure that no fishing occurs in marine protected areas.

OpenSC utilizes a variety of technologies to achieve its goals, including Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and space technology.
