About OpenSC

Transforming global food systems is key to tackling the climate crisis and protecting people and the planet. We believe a new and different type of transparency is needed to drive that change.

That is why we built OpenSC - co-founded by WWF and The Boston Consulting Group.

Our platform uses data directly from the source of our customer’s supply chains and analyses it to create direct actionable insights about sustainable & ethical production.

Automated - Continuous - Granular - Immutable.

This new type of transparency enables our customers to know, influence, and prove the sustainability of their supply chains
