Data quality verification: the pivotal value driver in sourcing, procurement, trading & compliance.

The quality of your data has a significant impact on risk management. A large percentage of tropical commodities are insufficiently traceable, posing significant compliance risks under the EUDR. Even recently mapped farms can form an EUDR compliance risk, as a substantial portion of farmer data may not be reliable.

With Verify, you can considerably reduce these risks by integrating real-time data verification and compliance validation into your procurement cycle, ensuring your commodities meet multiple end-destination regulations. 

You can access Verify through a subscription via our secure portal or API.

Sustainability Director,
Volcafe

At Volcafe, we have chosen to partner with Meridia to verify that our farm-level data is of robust quality, to support us in the identification of high-risk farms, and to refine our mitigation strategies.

Meridia’s technical support is a critical component within Volcafe's strategy and commitment to deliver EUDR-compliant coffee to our clients and to progress toward our goal of sourcing deforestation-free coffee.

process breakdown

Verify your field data with the most rigorous testing methodology available.

We currently apply 50 rigorous tests on field data and EUDR compliance—more than any other provider. We provide a comprehensive solution for assessing all EUDR-related risks in all four key areas across more than 35 origins.

Data quality

Our tests provide a risk rating on data truthfulness at the farm level, focusing on geolocations and attributes. We assess data integrity, consistency, and plausibility to identify risks or issues, ensuring inaccuracies are flagged before they cause compliance problems under the Regulation.

Deforestation

We conduct tests based on the EUDR definition to ensure products are deforestation-free. Our assessments use reputable sources, combining public deforestation maps with commercial layers like those from Space Intelligence*, providing conclusive and verifiable information.

Origin law & legality

We assess compliance risks related to production laws and relevant legislation in the origin country, covering land use, indigenous rights, environmental protection, and human rights. We ensure commodities meet legal requirements and industry standards (ECA, ECF).

Traceability (add-on)

Our risk rating assesses the truthfulness of traceability data at the parcel level, ensuring integrity in the chain of custody. We evaluate data integrity, consistency, and plausibility to support companies in meeting EUDR traceability standards.
