seedtrace

Seedtrace is an innovative Berlin-based startup, founded in 2020 by Katharina Elisa Davids, Ana Selina Haberbosch, Florian Fischer, and Jonathan Mandt. The company aims to promote transparency and sustainability along the supply chains of consumer goods, thereby establishing sustainable consumption habits.

Seedtrace offers a digital platform as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) that enables companies to understand, prove, and communicate the social and ecological impact of their products. This platform allows for mapping the entire supply chain of a product, from origin to end consumer, and enriching it with detailed information and media. Companies can thus tell the unique stories of their products, substantiate claims about sustainability, and thereby strengthen consumer trust[4][5].

The mission of seedtrace is to make sustainable consumption the norm. The company envisions a future where every product can be traced back to its roots and where the people who produce these products are fairly compensated for their work. Transparency is seen as key to sustainable production and consumption. The founders are passionately committed to social entrepreneurship and impact investing, advocating for fair and sustainable production and consumption practices[1][3][5].

Seedtrace focuses on creating transparency and sustainability in supply chains, particularly in the food sector and the clothing industry. The company works to provide businesses with the tools to make their ecological and social impact a selling point and to promote informed purchasing decisions among consumers. An example of this is the project in Ghana, where fair payment for small farmers is verified through blockchain technology[4][5].

Seedtrace has already received several awards, including the SIA Impact Award 2022 in the category of responsible consumption and first place at the Cashwalk Pitch Event 2023. The company has also been nominated for the German Sustainability Award 2025[3].

Seedtrace plans to further develop its platform to make it smarter and more adaptable to the complexity of the industry. The goal is to participate in more projects to enforce higher standards and pioneer sustainability. Through partnerships and the expansion of the ecosystem, seedtrace aims to achieve a significant impact on global supply chain transparency[4].
