Case Study: Rainforest Alliance protects forests and improves supply chain traceability with Microsoft Cloud

The Microsoft Cloud Helps Rainforest Alliance Protect the Earth’s Forests

The Rainforest Alliance, a global environmental nonprofit, faced the challenge of tracking sustainably farmed products through a complex global supply chain to protect forests and ensure sustainable practices. They partnered with Microsoft Corporation, implementing solutions including Microsoft Azure and Dynamics 365 for Sales, to create a robust and cost-effective certification and traceability system.

By leveraging the Microsoft Cloud, the Rainforest Alliance built a platform that tracks certified cocoa from farm to consumer in real-time, integrating data points stored in Azure SQL. This solution from Microsoft enabled the organization to increase efficiencies, reduce IT costs, and reliably validate sustainable sourcing for consumers, directly supporting its mission to conserve biodiversity and safeguard rainforests.
