Trase Deforestation & Supply Chain Risk Platform

Updated by Maílis Carrilho on January 13th, 2026
Trase is a web-based analytical platform that provides supply chain transparency and deforestation risk insights for globally traded agricultural commodities such as soy, beef, palm oil, and cocoa. The platform links production regions to international trade flows, enabling users to understand how deforestation and land-use change are connected to global supply chains. Trase is primarily used for risk analysis, research, and policy support, rather than for operational supplier management or ESG reporting. It is not a commercial SaaS product, but an open-access data and analytics platform developed by research organisations.

Its strength lies in revealing deforestation exposure embedded in global trade, rather than managing suppliers or compliance processes.
