Overview
Enveritas provides sustainability assurance for the coffee and cocoa industries. It conducts on-site farm assessments by visiting smallholder farms across 25+ countries (60,000+ farms annually) to evaluate social, economic, and environmental practices. The assurance is offered at no cost to farmers and is used by roasters and chocolate companies to understand and improve supply chain sustainability. The company leverages geospatial analysis to enhance verification accuracy and efficiency. Unlike firms that only audit facilities or rely on remote data, Enveritas combines hands-on farm visits with advanced geospatial tools to cover smallholders regardless of farm size or location. Its approach helps farmers access high-value markets by meeting sustainability standards, with a goal of broad participation in a sustainable coffee and cocoa market. In 2023, partners supported over 230,000 farmers in 20 countries through more than 100 projects.
