Proof of origin. Backed by science.
At Source Certain, science meets purpose.
We use cutting-edge forensic science to prove whether products really come from where they claim – giving our clients real confidence in their sustainability and ethical sourcing promises. Unlike other traceability providers, we don’t just check labels or paperwork. We test the physical product itself. That’s what makes us different, and that’s why we matter.
Our work spans high-impact sectors:
- Food retail
- Seafood
- Timber
- Luxury goods
- Precious metals and minerals
From major retailers and industry bodies to governments and producers, our clients rely on us to deliver certainty in a world where trust is everything.
Demand for trusted origin verification is expanding. Backed by leading sustainability investor Greensphere Capital, we’re scaling globally at pace. That means real opportunities for you to grow, innovate, and make an impact in a mission-driven environment. Here, curiosity is valued, ambition is encouraged, and science is applied to solve problems that shape industries and protect our planet.
