Stronger Together: Daemeter and Satelligence Announce Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Deforestation-Free Supply Chains

We are thrilled to announce a new strategic partnership between Daemeter and Satelligence, uniting two industry leaders to transform how companies manage sustainability and conservation in Southeast Asia.

As global pressure for deforestation-free (DCF) supply chains intensifies—driven by both climate urgency and evolving regulations like the EUDR—the need for precision and local action has never been greater. This partnership creates a strong “end-to-end” solution that bridges the gap between high-tech satellite monitoring and actionable, on-the-ground reality.

A Unified Vision for Impact

By combining Daemeter’s deep “boots on the ground” expertise and supply chain intelligence with Satelligence’s world-class remote sensing technology, we are offering the palm oil, pulp, paper, and emerging forest-risk commodity sectors a level of clarity previously out of reach.

Together, we provide:

  • Satellite to Field Verification: Moving beyond “seeing” deforestation to “solving” it by integrating real-time alerts with field-level investigations and engagement.
  • Localized Intelligence: Deep expertise in the regulatory and social landscapes of Indonesia and Malaysia to ensure compliance is both accurate and culturally informed.
  • Comprehensive Sustainability Solutions: From biodiversity assessments and Carbon MRV to grievance resolution and supplier capacity building.

Why This Matters for Palm Oil and Beyond

This isn’t just a technical integration; it’s a multiplier effect. Our clients no longer have to choose between a digital platform and a local consultancy. By acting as a unified solution provider, we are lowering the barriers to entry for sustainable transition, helping companies move from commitments to measurable environmental and social outcomes.

“Daemeter is thrilled to partner with Satelligence to accelerate the transition to deforestation‑free supply chains across Southeast Asia. Combining our deep local knowledge, field capabilities and stakeholder engagement experience with Satelligence’s real‑time satellite analytics creates a uniquely powerful, end‑to‑end solution that leverages our complementary expertise to achieve impact.”
Aisyah Sileuw, President Director, Daemeter

“When we began monitoring deforestation a decade ago, global planted treecrop maps didn’t even exist. Today, the challenge isn’t just seeing the forest for the crops—it’s the defensibility of the data. By partnering with longtime colleagues at Daemeter, we are bridging that gap. Their deep groundwork and field-level verification bolster satellite alerts as a source of undisputed, actionable intelligence. This partnership ensures our clients don’t just have data; they have the ground-truthed evidence required to meet the highest standards of transparency and landscape conservation .”
Niels Wielaard, CEO, Satelligence

Looking Ahead

Our partnership’s initial focus is on the critical palm oil and pulp sectors, while establishing integrated solutions for rubber, cocoa, coconut, and cashew. We will also work to support the adoption of nature-based solutions, informed by technology and collaborative approaches to conserve biodiversity, act on climate, and expand sustainable production. We are ready to support your journey toward a nature-positive future. Together, we are making “deforestation-free” a verifiable reality.
