SMOCGEO is a platform capable of tracking the activity of metal commodities production and supply chains. Its purpose is to support the assessment of the supply chain sustainability by considering the environmental impact of metal mining activities at specific mining sites and factories. By monitoring the production and activity in different mining sites, the platforms are also able to support the price estimation of metal commodities.

Commodities supply chains are high emissions emitters, and also highly exposed to the effects of climate change. Whether it is wildfires, flooding, drought or cyclones, supply chain disruption causes billions of dollars in damages annually. This effects owners and operators within these supply chains as well as investors and financial institutions. This service aims to provide long-term and near-real time monitoring of the risks and emissions that occur across these global networks.
