Shanghai, August 20, 2025 — IQC is proud to announce that it has received the “Service Pioneer Award” at the 2025 Sedex Supply Chain Awards, held at the Hyatt Regency Global Harbor in Shanghai. The award recognizes IQC’s pioneering contributions and innovations in advancing environmental and social responsibility across global supply chains.

Regenerative agriculture has emerged as a proven solution to global ecological and food security challenges, with the potential to transform farmland into carbon sinks and offset agriculture’s 23% share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, implementation remains a challenge.

To tackle these barriers, IQC joined forces with Coca-Cola, Cargill, ADM, and Sedex to develop supply chain due diligence solutions tailored for China’s agricultural sector. Through these collaborations, IQC has:

· Led the development of the Regenerative Agriculture Management Standards for Crop Farming (3 management dimensions, 104 indicators).

· Established practical training guidance systems, authorized 4 independent certifiers, and introduced 5 specialized training courses.

· Created a proprietary environmental data platform enabling carbon emission tracking and tamper-proof sustainability reporting.

“Receiving the Sedex ‘Service Pioneer Award’ is a strong endorsement of IQC’s vision and commitment to transforming agriculture,” said [Insert Executive Name, Title]. “By setting measurable standards, building digital solutions, and fostering industry-wide partnerships, we are driving scalable impact for farmers, companies, and the planet.”

This recognition underscores IQC’s role as a leader in sustainable supply chain innovation. By combining technological expertise, operational efficiency, and global collaboration, IQC is not only strengthening its market competitiveness but also helping to accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices across China.
