The organisation

Satelligence is the market leader in remote sensing technology for sustainable sourcing with the mission to halt deforestation. They provide traders, manufacturers and agribusinesses with critical sustainability insights. These empower them to minimize their global environmental footprint and track their progress against climate objectives, to ensure a sustainable supply chain.

Founded in 2016, Satelligence has more than forty employees who work in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and in Asia, Africa, and South America.
