PARIS, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ECOM Agroindustrial Corp Ltd., one of the world's leading traders of agricultural commodities, is partnering with supply chain mapping leader Sourcemap for compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The EUDR requires an increase in data collection and management throughout commodity supply chains. This includes digital maps of all farms used to supply coffee and cocoa with proof the products were produced without deforestation. This partnership supports the compliance and traceability of ECOM's indirect cocoa and coffee supply chains through Sourcemap's award-winning supply chain regulatory software, enabling ECOM to track and receive farm level data in order to monitor for deforestation using advanced satellite imagery. Sourcemap's solution forms a key component of ECOM's comprehensive framework for EUDR compliance, supporting the mapping and traceability of indirect supply chains while integrating with ECOM's own deforestation monitoring tools to ensure rigorous oversight and accuracy. Sourcemap's AI automation ensures EU-bound shipments can be verified deforestation-free, and ECOM can share the verifiable results with customers and regulators through an automated digital interface.
"ECOM's choice of Sourcemap's automated EUDR solution for their indirect supply chain underscores their commitment to excellence in cocoa and coffee sourcing," explained Leonardo Bonanni, Founder and CEO of Sourcemap.
"Growing our partnership with Sourcemap allows us to strengthen our EUDR compliance framework and customer offerings by integrating our supplier due diligence and EUDR data collection to the Sourcemap platform, complementing our existing direct supply chains solution," explained Alain Poncelet, CEO of ECOM.
