OUR DIFFERENCE
Supply Web,
Not Supply Chain
Water security will require us to rethink how we perceive supplier relationships.
Beyond Reporting
We need to spend more time solving the problems that matter though collaboration, data collection, and accountability. Reporting and other paperwork shouldn't be taking as long.
Beyond Risk Assessment
We are not another assessment tool. We believe in taking action beyond the data.
#WithCeleste maintain surety of supply.

OUR PRODUCT REASONING
At its core, the water crisis is a resource management problem. Current solutions are siloed across watersheds and supply chains and focus too much on hardware supply solutions. We seek to build a platform that facilitates and scales collective governance. Besides, with increased supply chain disruption due to climate change, solutions that build resilience and communication are critical.

Lack of awareness of water's interconnectedness:
Water systems are part of intricate biological and physical networks. Despite this, the ways in which water interacts with land, climate, energy, and human activities are often not fully grasped by those making decisions.
Nexus of water and other key climate topics:
Our aim is to inform companies about the ripple effects their water-related decisions have on their energy use, carbon emissions, biodiversity measures, and social commitments.
Siloed management of water,
a resource that naturally transcends borders, leads to disjointed and uncoordinated efforts. This complicates addressing complex water-related challenges such as pollution, competing uses, and disaster management.
Collaborative management of resource and risk:
We aim to illustrate how the decisions of one company can impact other businesses, local communities, and natural habitats. We believe in eradicating silos in water stewardship and risk management across the SC.
Hardware short-sightedness: Traditional approaches to water issues focus on increasing supply through tech like pumps and deslination plants. However, building infrastructure fails to address underlying issues of poor governance and planning.
Data-driven collaboration platform:
The Celeste team focuses on enhancing resource management through shared information, planning, and risk assessment, rather than creating new water sources, addressing both supply and usage.
Reactive approaches to risk:
As supply chain disruption becomes the new norm, companies can decide to "turn off the fires" that arise as they come up. In supply chains, this response makes it costlier in terms of time, money, and customer satisfaction.
Proactive supply chain resilience: COVID-19 highlighted the vulnerability of supply chains to disruptions. With ongoing climate change threats, our goal is to help companies strengthen supplier relationships to better withstand future shocks.
