DoubleHelix Brings Supply Chain Data Verification Expertise to Open Forest Protocol
DoubleHelix provides supply chain due diligence solutions for forest products and deforestation-related commodities. As a validator in the OFP MRV network, DoubleHelix will apply its risk assessment and data verification expertise through the use of methods such as remote sensing.
Founded in 2008, the company started by providing timber legality certification backed by DNA verification for Indonesian wood products. It has since expanded globally, offering upstream supply chain due diligence and regulatory compliance solutions to major importers in the United States and the European Union.
Accredited to ISO 17065 for Product Certification, DoubleHelix also offers PEFC Chain of Custody and International Sustainability and Carbon Certification. By deploying modern technological innovations such as DNA and isotope testing, machine learning, and blockchain-secured data platforms in its verification process, the company provides assurance of environmental claims for the benefit of buyers and consumers.
We are delighted to join the OFP community and excited to contribute our expertise to ensure that all data on the platform is verified and trustworthy. We intend to learn, through participation, about this innovative approach to forest monitoring and carbon financing.
