About COSA

Working together to foster secure and resilient farm communities, feed a hungry planet, and sustain the environment.

Our Mission

We accelerate sustainability by advancing smart performance metrics and innovative technologies, enabling users to take better decisions that make a tangible difference for people and planet.

Our Principles

We may each hold different ideas about what is “sustainable” and, in all cases, solid metrics help us advance rationally.

The principles of collaboration and partnership are reflected in our foundational values:

  1. Providing intelligent guidance & easy-to-use tools to accelerate sustainability
  2. Credibility that comes from balancing science-based rigor with deep pragmatic experience
  3. Simplify the complexity of sustainability with standardized metrics
  4. Measure what matters to make better decisions and share stories about impact that matters

COSA has long been a trusted source for sustainability intel and tools. Our work aligns with dozens of international accords including:
