ETG and Lavazza
ETG and Lavazza needed a more accurate understanding of direct land use change emissions across their Ugandan coffee supply chain. They combined Meridia's farm plot verification with AdAstra's high-resolution emissions modelling, replacing generic averages with supply chain-specific insights, an demonstrating significantly lower emissions than regional and global benchmarks.
Accurately calculating direct land use change (dLUC) emissions in a complex supply chain to benchmark performance against global and regional standards.
Internal data and system limits
Reliability of farm-level data was the biggest challenge, as ofi’s own traceability and risk
analysis system was still under development.
External verification credibility gap
Customers and partners often flagged discrepancies in risk classification; ofi required an
independent, auditable system.
A dual-layer approach integrating Meridia Verify for data quality, deforestation assessment and legality assurance and Orbae by AdAstra for high-resolution GHG emission assessment from land use change.
