Earthworm Foundation

Overview

Earthworm Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on transforming global supply chains to create positive social and environmental impacts. Founded in 1999 as the Tropical Forest Trust and rebranded in 2019, its mission is to foster a world where people and nature thrive together. The organization collaborates with global consumer companies across various sectors, including palm oil, cocoa, soy, pulp and paper, rubber, biomass, and seafood.

The foundation emphasizes responsible sourcing and drives transparency in supply chains while addressing critical issues like deforestation and labor rights. It employs satellite technology and on-the-ground verification to monitor impact and ensure effective solutions. Earthworm Foundation values human rights, biodiversity conservation, and climate stability, with most staff working directly in producing countries to engage with local issues. By facilitating dialogue and innovation, the organization supports forest protection, farmer resilience, and community engagement, holding companies accountable to their sustainability commitments.
