iov42, a technology company specialising in digital identity, trust, and data integrity, today announced it has entered into two global strategic partnerships, strengthening iov42’s class-leading traceability solution, Interu, with analysis, reporting and verification technologies.

Innovate UK and Enterprise Singapore select iov42 and DoubleHelix to create a digital platform to tackle illegal deforestation in supply chains. The new innovative digital platform, using Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), aims to help organisations importing into the UK to comply with the due diligence requirements set by the UK Environment Act 2021. This ground-breaking environmental legislation aims to establish clear statutory targets for the recovery of the natural world in four priority areas: air quality, biodiversity, water and waste.

DoubleHelix offers International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) in Southeast Asia to help companies comply with EU Renewable Energy Directive.

DoubleHelix is launching International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) to companies in Singapore, Indonesia, and the wider Asia-Pacific market.

Forests and natural habitats are essential to our future; their protection, restoration and management are fundamental to mitigate the effects of climate change.

11Foundry’s FiberTrace™ cloud-based software enables companies to process, organise, and manage supply chain documents and records according to company policies and regulatory requirements such as the US Lacey Act and EU Timber Regulation. This is combined with DoubleHelix’s capabilities to assess and mitigate supply chain risk, working with suppliers to collect, verify and analyse hard-to-get supply chain data across the world. The combination of DoubleHelix’s in-country resources, together with 11Foundry’s powerful software, results in a comprehensive beginning-to-end compliance tool.

Double Helix Tracking Technologies and the University of Adelaide are working together on an Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) funded project involving the use of a DNA-based chain of custody system to secure legally harvested teak from Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Laos and Myanmar.

An Australian first national DNA testing programme was able to verify the species and origin of imported timber sold at retail outlets. Its first round of results, showed that while more than 60% of the species’ labels were accurate, it confirmed close to 40% of timber imported into Australia was incorrectly labelled and therefore considered to be illegally harvested.
