Sustainability
Why we do it
Our commitment to more sustainable practices.
While the move to sustainable practice is driven by a desire to change our impact on the world, we can’t do this without knowing the certainty of our actions. Transparency is one way of holding ourselves accountable; yet, for it to be effective, it must be underpinned by proven traceability.
Oritain’s scientific traceability does just that. Working with Mother Nature, we help brands across multiple industries verify the origin and authenticity of their products and raw materials.
With this verified truth, brands are empowered to make changes across their supply chain to operate more sustainably and to pass those assurances onto their consumers.
WHAT WE DO
Sustainability through traceability.
Oritain’s unique auditing methodology combines forensic science and data to detect naturally occurring elements in a product or raw material. Soil composition, climate, altitude, precipitation and other environmental factors all reveal the details of a product’s origin – which we call an Origin Fingerprint.
Once an Origin Fingerprint has been created, it can be used to audit products at any point in the supply chain – to clearly differentiate the legitimate from the fraudulent. And, unlike other traceability methods, it can never be tampered with, replicated or destroyed.
It’s authenticity, verified.
Sustainability isn’t just about tackling climate change.
Sustainability also represents a growing conscience around our actions and the impact they have on people, animals and our planet.
