Due Diligence Dashboard by Wageningen Food Views

If you work in the agri-food industry, you often wonder: what if? What if you’re importing palm oil from a particular region – are there human rights and environmental risks to consider? But answering that question is both costly and time-consuming. That’s why we have come up with a solution providing instant, robust, and reliable sector-specific risk scores: our Due Diligence Dashboard by Wageningen Food Views.

The Due Diligence Dashboard locates and visualises risks of 8 human rights and 7 environmental themes in hundreds agri commodity-country combinations at subnational level. These themes are aligned with the OECD guidelines, UNGPs, and EU legislation, e.g. CSDDD.

The risk scores are quantified on a scale from 0 to 5, allowing you to prioritise follow-up steps. With clear, detailed, and evidence-based map overviews, you can make informed decisions for due diligence and sustainability improvement, in just a few clicks.

Ecotoxicity

Which agri commodities are included?

The first edition of the Due Diligence Dashboard will include the following agri commodities:

Beef
Cashew
Cocoa
Coffee
Cotton
Maize
Palm oil
Rice
Rubber
Soy

What science is behind the scores?

Human rights risks

We use publicly available data sources and statistical approaches to estimate (sub-)national risk levels for each theme, combined with a standardised literature study on different agricultural sectors in order to account for the specific risks associated with the production of a specific commodity within a specific country.

Environmental risks

We assess deforestation, biodiversity loss and water stress using a spatial analysis, which uses the spatial patterns in production areas and combines them with spatial maps related to each theme, while LCA provides relative risk scores based on absolute environmental impacts, such as CO2 emissions.

All scores range from 0 (no risk) to 5 (high risk).

What do the visuals look like?

Currently, we are able to deliver risk scores on a subnational level in overview maps, as shown below. We are constantly working to improve its comprehensibility and usability.

When will the Due Diligence Dashboard be available?

The first edition of the Due Diligence Dashboard is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. The other modules mentioned in the video will follow in due course.
