Enveritas

Enveritas (operating at enveritas.org) is a nonprofit assurance platform engineered for responsible supply chain transparency. Founded in 2016 by David Browning and headquartered in New York City, Enveritas addresses systemic challenges in global agriculture by verifying ethical sourcing and environmental compliance. Unlike traditional certification models, it combines rigorous on-the-ground farmer support with data-driven impact measurement, ensuring brands can trace sustainability claims to real-world outcomes. Under the hood, the organization partners with smallholder farmers—primarily in coffee, cocoa, and tea—to deliver targeted training, infrastructure, and livelihood programs while independently auditing supply chains for issues like child labor and deforestation. This allows leading global brands to meet consumer demand for ethical products while funding measurable farmer development. Backed by a $120K grant in 2018, Enveritas operates on a bootstrapped model, prioritizing mission-driven impact over venture capital.
