OpenSC

OpenSC is a Sydney-based technology company that verifies low-carbon and sustainable food production at the source. Its verification platform collects data directly from customers' supply chains and analyses it continuously to test sustainability claims: whether palm oil comes from legal, deforestation-free plantations, whether coffee farmers are paid correctly, and whether fishing activity avoids marine reserves. The output is automated, granular, immutable product-level evidence, surfaced to business partners and consumers alike.

The engineering scope is unusually broad for a supply-chain business. The platform draws on artificial intelligence and machine learning, sensors and IoT, blockchain and distributed-ledger technology, space technology, supply-chain traceability and data analytics, with immutable product-level recording at its core. Deployments span palm oil, coffee, fisheries and seafood, commodities and FMCG supply chains, where systems must reconcile physical events across long, contested routes and hold up under scrutiny from regulators, buyers and consumers.

The venture was co-founded by WWF-Australia and The Boston Consulting Group and is a Certified B Corporation. Its stated mission covers deforestation-free supply chains, fair farmer payments and marine reserve protection; customers use it for regulatory compliance, ESG and supply-chain risk management, consumer trust and efficiency.
