Transparency at the
source of supply chains
Matana empowers organisations in the electronics and EV industries to monitor ESG and human rights risks in Tier 3–4 mineral suppliers across emerging markets. Powered by TRACE, our platform provides visibility into these critical suppliers, enabling companies to detect risks early, act responsibly, and build resilient supply chains.
What is the Matana Platform?
Mining supply chains fuel the modern world — from electric vehicles to smartphones. Yet the further upstream you go, the harder it becomes to see what's really happening. That opacity creates risk: reputational, financial, and regulatory.
Matana makes the invisible visible.
Powered by TRACE (Trusted-Ranked Aggregator for Compliance & ESG, UK patent pending), our verification engine, we give companies the data and tools to monitor Tier 3–4 suppliers where abuses and environmental harm are most likely to occur.
TRACE Intelligence Engine
Real-time monitoring and risk assessment across global mineral supply chains
How it works — TRACE → Matana Platform
1) Gather & Verify
We pull in signals from NGOs, reputable media and satellites and — where feasible — worker/community reports. SOP checks, de-duplication, confidence scoring and an optional local validator confirm what's real.
2) Map
Verified facts are aligned to the rules you're measured against (e.g., CSDDD, Modern Slavery, LkSG, OECD, IFC/ICMM, permits, codes and contracts) — down to the clause.
3) Prove
One-click, clause-mapped Evidence Packs with sources, timestamps, screenshots, redactions and next-step notes — downloadable (PDF/CSV) and shareable with controls.
Why the Matana Platform is Necessary
Hidden risks are real
Cobalt, lithium, and coltan supply chains are linked to child labour, unsafe working conditions, and severe environmental damage.
Regulation is rising
EU CSDDD, UK Modern Slavery Act, and global ESG disclosure rules demand verifiable reporting.
Reputation is fragile
One incident can erase billions in shareholder value.
Matana is building the infrastructure for trust and accountability in mining supply chains.
