About the Website

Welcome to the Transform Platform owned by PT Inovasi Digital Untuk Transformasi, a privately-held tech solution company. The Transform Platform is a commodity trade data platform designed to enable Business-to-Business verification of No Deforestation, Peat Clearing and Exploitation (the “NDPE”) compliance via a suite of digital solutions. The Transform Platform will house and visualize our integrated datasets and sustainability insights that can be utilized by you/businesses and corporate clients in addressing the gaps in the implementation of their sustainability and NDPE commitments (the “Services”).

Our mission objective is to contribute to the development of fair and sustainable trade through technological innovations. The main pillars of our approach are Traceability, Innovation, Transparency, Accountability, Responsibility and Creativity. Our journey began as a branch office established in Indonesia by a prominent NGO based in Europe. From the onset, we have always strived to distinguish ourselves from other civil-society organizations by encouraging sector-wide sustainable transformation through timely, accurate and actionable information and solution-based approach. Our footprint and network eventually grew to encompass most major industry players in the palm oil sector, from smallholders, growers, millers, traders-refiners, mid-stream processors, consumer goods manufacturers, downstream users and government authorities, Some of our approaches, such as near-real time monitoring of supplier non-compliance and smallholder projects in Aceh Singkil and Ketapang eventually became known as the leading examples to be emulated in the palm oil sustainability discourse. In the beginning of 2020, a strategic decision was made to establish an independent spin-off in Indonesia. Henceforth, the Earthqualizer Foundation was created and took over the European NGOs activities in Indonesia. The decision enables both organizations to better allocate resources in combating deforestation in Asia and beyond. In particular, the change allowed the Foundation to expand its footprint on the ground in the key landscapes in Indonesia and Malaysia. In 2022, another strategic decision was made to separate the Foundation’s consultancy work from other functions, resulting in the creation of PT Inovasi Digital Untuk Transformasi.
