Enveritas builds solutions to improve the measurement of sustainability in agricultural supply chains and include smallholder farmers in responsibly sourced agricultural products, in particular coffee and cocoa. A key component of this requires developing and financing projects that directly improve sustainability of production and benefit the livelihoods of smallholder farmers.

We are a dynamic non-profit organization working across 34 coffee and cocoa growing countries around the world, with a remote-first environment. We bring together technology and machine learning with rigorous field processes to collect and process data on supply chain sustainability and environmental impact. This is made possible by a hardworking and diverse team dedicated to delivering impact to smallholder farmers and developing more sustainable cocoa and coffee supply chains.
