The Compliance Burden
A messy, fragmented landscape of overlapping regulatory and certification requirements.

Countries — Proven Historically
The world is not becoming simpler. Trade routes are fragmenting.
Global value chains in forestry and agriculture are stalled by three systemic failures:
The Implementation Gap
Software exists, but the operational capacity to bring smallholders into formal, verifiable markets at scale is missing.
The Investability Barrier
High risk and low data visibility keep institutional capital sidelined.
Most market actors offer advice without execution, or software without system accountability. CMO addresses this by operating a connected system that links field execution, traceability, and compliance across the supply chain.
Built to Operate the Systems the Market Runs On
With experience working in over 80 countries over the years, ongoing operations in 19 countries, and a permanent footprint in 45 countries, we promote transparency, legality, and safety across international supply chains. Together with our partner Amspec, we extend certification and compliance coverage across 33 countries in the Americas. We secure value chains for products ranging from timber, charcoal, and biomass to rubber, latex, cocoa, coffee, soy, cattle, and palm oil.
Institutional Investors & DFIs
We translate lender requirements into operational rule-sets embedded in the compliance system. We function as investable compliance infrastructure, turning high-risk land use into a transparent, bankable asset class.
Global Buyers & Industry Leaders
We bake regulatory requirements—like the EUDR and deforestation-free rules—directly into our certification systems. You receive verifiable, geo-referenced data for every unit of production.
Governments & Regulators
We provide national scalability, with the architectural capacity to rapidly onboard entire regions and countries into formal, verifiable markets.
Smallholders
We empower millions of agricultural smallholders to trade in the global compliance market, providing the technical skills and resources to operate legally and sustainably.
