About EARTH

People Power Global Change

Founded in 2014 by Andrew and Kirsten Dudley, EARTH began with a simple recognition: the people who care for our planet vastly outnumber those who exploit it. What was missing was a way for this majority to recognize each other, coordinate action, and hold bad actors accountable.

Our Mission

EARTH develops technology and strategic partnerships to protect forests, oceans, biodiversity, and human rights through people-centered transparency and collective action. As a neutral convener, we make planetary stewardship profitable, practical, and empowering for all stakeholders.

The Problem We Solve

For decades, corporations have claimed plausible deniability about supply chain violations: "How can we know what's happening across thousands of suppliers and hundreds of thousands of workers?" EARTH eliminates this excuse by creating direct digital connections between forward-facing brands and frontline workers in the most remote places on Earth.

Revolutionary Partnership: Planet + EARTH

We partner with Planet Labs PBC, operating the world's largest constellation of Earth-imaging satellites. This alliance represents a groundbreaking combination of space-based monitoring and community-powered ground truth. Two Public Benefit Corporations united by shared values and legal commitments to positive impact—not just profit.

How We're Different

Community-First Development
Since 2014, we've traveled extensively to meet Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities to learn exactly what they need. Our development follows the principle of "two eyes, two ears, one mouth"—we prioritize listening over speaking.

Trust Infrastructure
Our invite-only vouching system ensures authenticated participation. Existing trusted members vouch for new participants, creating cascading accountability networks that resist corruption and ensure authentic engagement.

Cross-Vertical Integration
Unlike single-purpose tools, EARTH connects forest conservation, marine protection, and human rights monitoring in one platform. This integrated approach addresses multiple regulatory requirements simultaneously.

Built Different by Design

As a Public Benefit Corporation, EARTH is legally committed to creating positive impact for people and planet—not just profit for shareholders. This structure ensures:

• Mission integrity over maximum profitability
• Stakeholder value, not just shareholder returns
• Long-term impact over quarterly earnings pressure
• Transparent accountability to communities we serve

The Union of Planetary Stewardship

EARTH organizes a new kind of community network—not by industry or geography, but by shared commitment to planetary and human wellbeing. Our members include:

Community Guardians: Farmers protecting soil and water, fishermen reporting illegal activities, forest communities preventing deforestation, workers documenting labor violations.

Institutional Allies: Honest law enforcement officers, ethical prosecutors, responsible corporate managers, transparent government officials.

Ultimately, we're all Earthlings sharing one planet. Our platform makes this connection visible and actionable.

Regulatory Expertise

EARTH addresses critical compliance requirements including EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDD), UK Modern Slavery Act, and US Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA). We transform regulatory burden from obstacle to competitive advantage.

Technology for Humanity

Our platform combines:

• Daily satellite imagery from Planet Labs' 200+ satellite constellation
• Real-time community reporting through smartphone apps
• AI-powered compliance automation
• Professional GIS capabilities designed for ease of use

The Future We're Building

A world where:

• Supply chain transparency eliminates corporate plausible deniability
• Frontline workers have direct voice in global systems
• Satellite technology serves community empowerment
• Environmental protection and human rights advance together
• Planetary stewardship becomes profitable and practical for all

Join the Movement

Whether you're a farmer, fisher, worker, corporation, or government—we're all Earthlings with shared interests in planetary health and wellbeing. EARTH provides the technology infrastructure for this majority to coordinate action and create accountability.
