Get Ahead of Compliance. Protect Your Data. Stand Out.
Epoch helps suppliers get regulation-ready with satellite-based plot detection — starting with EUDR and extending to the human rights, forced labour, and carbon disclosure rules arriving behind it. Keep commercially sensitive location data private, and prove your sustainability advantage to buyers — all powered by the same intelligence already used by more than 24,000 corporates, regulators, and financial institutions.
Why Suppliers Choose Epoch
Built for the Challenges Suppliers Face
Whether you need to comply with EUDR and the regulations arriving behind it, protect sensitive operational data, or stand out against competitors, Epoch gives you the tools and the data to do it.
Get Regulation-Ready Without Expensive Surveys
Most suppliers don't have plot boundaries mapped. Manual surveys are expensive, inaccurate for smallholders, and require constant updates. Epoch detects plot boundaries on-demand from satellite imagery — for your estate properties and your smallholder suppliers. We flag non-compliance before your customers do. With more than 24,000 corporates already using Epoch data, it pays to be on the same page.
EUDR is the deadline most suppliers are working to today, and it is not the last one. Origin-country rules and import-market regulations on human rights, forced labour, and carbon disclosure are reaching the same supply base — and the same satellite-derived plot data answers each of them.
Comply Without Disclosing Sensitive Locations
Many suppliers face legal, competitive, or cultural barriers to sharing exact plot coordinates. Epoch eliminates that need by detecting harvest areas directly from satellite data. Your customers get the compliance data they require; you keep your commercially sensitive information private. This is especially relevant in the timber industry, where operations span millions of hectares and landowners — including indigenous communities — face real barriers to sharing geolocations.
Prove Your Sustainability Advantage
Great suppliers deserve to stand out. Epoch helps you quantify and showcase your environmental performance — from supplier-specific carbon footprints that prove your products are lower-impact than competitors, to carbon removal accounting that lets you monetize conservation areas on your plantations. Turn your sustainability investments into a market advantage.
Industry Spotlight
Why Timber Suppliers Are Choosing Epoch
The timber industry faces a unique EUDR challenge. US hardwood alone comes from over 120 million hectares of naturally regenerated forest across 1,600 counties, with individual consignments potentially spanning thousands of harvest plots. Landowners — from small private owners to indigenous communities — often cannot or will not share exact plot coordinates due to privacy laws, competitive sensitivity, and cultural sovereignty.
Epoch solves this by removing the need for suppliers to disclose plot locations entirely.
The same approach carries forward. Once harvest areas are mapped from satellite data, that evidence also supports the human rights, forced labour, and carbon disclosure requirements now reaching timber supply chains — without a second data collection exercise.
Satellite-Based Harvest Detection
Epoch automatically detects harvested plots from satellite imagery without requiring supplier-provided polygons or coordinates.
Compliance by Exclusion
Build EUDR-compliant Due Diligence Statements by submitting a broader area where all detected plots are verified clean — no individual landowner data required.
Privacy-Preserving by Design
Analysis can be run at the association, county, or state level, keeping individual landowner identities and locations fully anonymized.
