Starling is a remote sensing solution developed by Airbus and Earthworm Foundation, to help you measure the environmental impact of your supply chains and to take actions to deliver on your deforestation-free and net zero target commitments.
Starling digital platform offers a range of data and analytics to appreciate risk of deforestation and degradation in your supply chains or forest projects, to bring transparency in your replanting and other carbon removals activities, to prioritise your suppliers against a range of criteria for further engagement and action plan, and to support your scope 3 GHG accounting.
By combining reliable forest cover change analytics, supply chain data and expertise in supporting companies to achieve DEF Free value chains, Starling will equally help you fulfilling upcoming obligations linked to the new EU regulation on deforestation-free (EUDR).
The Basemap depicts natural forest and the main landscape features over 20 year time series. This allows you to focus on areas that matter the most for you to drive and follow-up actions to achieve impact.
The Monitoring identifies forest cover change and raises alerts every quarter and provides an overview of the size and the dynamics of deforestation.
The Dasbord gives you access to key analytics to determine priority areas where to take action, even over vast supply-sheds.
Reports on deforestation verification, supply chain tracking and EUDR compliance.
A team of experts that will provide you with personal support and will adapt to the real needs of your company.
Objective and timely data at the right level of detail for all businesses across the supply chain to support decision making and action, whilst ensuring traceability.

Digital and intuitive platform with numerous interactive features and downloadable reports.
A key feature of Starling is to organize supply chain data in linking the different operating units from Tiers 1 supplier up to farmer & plot of production (wherever available) so as companies can navigate up and down in their supply chain and appreciate whether they are linked to deforestation for the different agents across the supply chain.
Understand the requirements of the EUDR and verify that you comply with it.
Objective and timely data for all businesses across the supply chain to support decision making, whilst ensuring traceability.
Full forest cover change mapping, at scale with analytics depicting objective land use change over long time series.

"Nestlé has always been committed to source the raw materials we need to manufacture our products responsibly. In 2010, we made a No Deforestation commitment stating that none of our products globally will be associated with deforestation by 2020.
Starling satellite monitoring is a game changer to achieve transparency in our supply chain. Today, we cover 100% of Nestlé’s global palm oil supply chains and we will extend this collaboration to cover other commodities. Data and analytics provided by Starling enable us to manage risks and perform field intervention strategies together with our suppliers to drive changes better and faster."
"Providing assurance to the users of our products like Nestlé and others that our pulp and paper are free from deforestation is important to us. That’s why, alongside Nestlé, we have undertaken a pilot of Starling in Arkhangelsk, Russia, to monitor 300,000 hectares of Intact Forest Landscape, which we and other stakeholders have set aside to become a forest reserve. Starling’s monitoring of the area has proven invaluable in demonstrating our commitments to the protection of this forest that is part of developing a robust long term land use plan."
"Colgate-Palmolive is committed to sourcing responsible palm oil that is free from deforestation. To assist us in delivering this pledge we have been testing Starling, running a pilot on a section of our palm oil supply chain. By mapping our suppliers, we aim to strengthen our supplier engagement policy and develop stronger relationships based around our NDPE policy."
