SmarTuna

Solutions / Prove sustainability & social claims

The claim you can't prove is the one that costs you.

Sustainability and social-responsibility claims now carry real exposure — greenwashing challenges, retailer delistings, forced-labor scrutiny at the border. SmarTuna backs every claim with evidence tied to the product itself, so when a retailer, auditor or regulator asks you to prove it, you can — environmental and social alike.

The problem

A certificate on file isn't proof for a shipment.

A certificate tells you a status existed at a point in time. It doesn't prove that this batch, from this vessel, on this trip, is the one it covers. And a supplier's declaration passed down the chain isn't evidence — it's someone else's word, inherited.

Meanwhile the bar has moved. Sustainability claims face greenwashing challenges. Social claims face forced-labor import bans and retailer audits. Both now have to be demonstrated, on demand, in a form someone else can verify — not simply stated.

The approach

Turn claims into proof points.

SmarTuna treats every claim as a proof point — a defined thing, with defined evidence behind it. Each one has its required documents, a party responsible for providing them, and a link to the specific batch it applies to.

A claim stops being a line on a spec sheet and becomes something you can open, and show.

How it works

Evidence collected as the product moves, not after the fact.

Defined evidence per claim

The platform knows what each proof point requires and which party in the chain owes it.

Tied to the batch

Evidence links to the Raw Material ID and the product it covers — not a general folder.

Screened against the record

Vessels and establishments are checked against external registries: ISSF PVR, MSC and ASC chain of custody, RFMO records, IUU lists, EU-approved facilities.

Audit-ready on demand

Every document is stored against the batch it belongs to and retrieved in minutes, rather than assembled by hand when someone asks.

The same structure carries environmental, legal and social claims — one system, not three.

Social responsibility

Prove the social claims, not just the environmental ones.

Most traceability stops at sustainability. SmarTuna carries the same rigor into social responsibility — the area under the sharpest new scrutiny, and the hardest to prove with paperwork alone.

Social-audit evidence linked per batch

BSCI/Amfori, SMETA, Fair Trade and the FISH Standard for Crew, tied to the Raw Material ID rather than sitting in a separate system.

Conditions verified at the source

Satellite analytics, electronic monitoring and human-observer reporting combined, so worker-welfare claims rest on more than a self-declaration.

Forced- and child-labor risk surfaced early

Before product enters your chain — giving you the diligence trail to help keep it out, and to show you looked.

Answer a forced-labor question with evidence, not assurances.

Audit-ready, not audit-scramble

The proof is assembled before you need it.

When the request comes — from a retailer, an auditor, an NGO or a regulator — the evidence is already there, linked to the product, ready to hand over.

No week of pulling documents together. No chasing suppliers after the fact.

The result

What this means for your business.

Sustainability and social claims you can substantiate on demand
Evidence tied to the product, not a certificate in a folder
Verification of conditions at the source, not a self-declaration taken on trust
A diligence trail against forced and child labor
Audit-ready across environmental, legal and social — instantly, from one system
