SINGAPORE/COPENHAGEN, July 2, 2026. Agridence, a Singapore based B2B SaaS platform for agricultural supply-chain traceability and sustainability compliance has partnered with Nordic Carbon to expand into Northern Europe, as companies rush to meet tightening European Union compliance deadlines.
Under the agreement, Nordic Carbon will lead go-to-market efforts for Agridence across the Nordics, Benelux and Germany, supporting companies responding to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which takes effect on 30 December 2026, and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), with declarations of conformity (DOC) due from 12 August 2026.
Together, these regulations are creating a dual compliance burden, forcing companies to prove deforestation-free supply chains while managing packaging compliance, and driving a fundamental rethink of how data is captured, managed and verified across complex supplier networks.
Agridence provides clients with an execution layer for this shift. Its platform enables companies to operationalise traceability at scale, from capturing farm-level data and assessing deforestation risk using geospatial analysis to conducting legality checks and supplier-led mitigation. Already deployed in production by leading global FMCG companies, the platform supports both EUDR and PPWR within a single, integrated data model, allowing companies to avoid duplicating systems and reducing the risk of inconsistent reporting across regulations.
The partnership gives Agridence immediate access to Nordic Carbon's established client base and gives Nordic Carbon a dedicated compliance platform to bring into its client engagements. Nordic Carbon provides the regional relationships and reach, Agridence provides the technology, and together they create a complementary, mutually reinforcing partnership that delivers a single route for both EUDR and PPWR compliance.
“Our approach is to collaborate with strong regional partners who can bring our solutions into local markets. Nordic Carbon’s market access and client relationships make this a natural fit, and we see this partnership model scaling as demand for compliance solutions accelerates,” said Gerald Tan, CEO and Founder of Agridence.
“As a commodity house operating across some of the world's most complex agricultural supply chains, data integrity and traceability are central to how we work," said Christian Thrane, Head of Data and IT Infrastructure at Nordic Carbon Partners. "Partnering with Agridence replaces our clients' spreadsheet-driven regulatory compliance with a platform that automatically generates EUDR Due Diligence Statements, submits them directly to EU TRACES, and runs PPWR Declarations of Conformity from similar supply chain data, storing every filing audit-ready by default.”
The companies expect compliance-driven investment across Europe to accelerate in the second half of 2026, particularly among food manufacturers, retailers and FMCG firms exposed to high-risk supply chains.
