Our dedication to sustainability is profound, rooted in our history. We were already exploring forests and satellites 25 years ago, long before they were in the spotlight. We’re excited to ignite that same passion in you. Satelligence simplifies proving your sustainability efforts, bridging the gap from farmers to consumers.
Bring a committed team, we take care of the rest!
Our mission
We strive to make sustainable production mainstream, ensuring a profitable, equitable and climate positive future. Protecting your business, people and the planet. With relevant insights based on consistent and accurate data.
Satelligence tracks crops, ecosystems, risks and supply chain assets in one place, so you can confidently measure and report the progress you need.
Our story
“Inspired by my great-grandmother’s stories about her life growing up in Indonesia, I developed a fascination for tropical forest landscapes and its people around the world.
Fresh from Wageningen University I travelled the world for over two decades, to study how new and untapped science & technology designed with humans in mind could halt deforestation and prove sustainable production.”
Experiencing both the impact of environmental destruction and the hopeful hardships of local people striving to make a decent living made a lasting impression.
”It led me to pioneer sustainable sourcing monitoring systems and ultimately launch Satelligence. I have been fortunate to learn from so many people over the years and believe in the power of partnerships driving change to make a meaningful impact.
I invite you to join too – let’s turn commodity risk into an opportunity!”
