A transformative new approach to sourcing

organic cotton field

Sourcery’s global sourcing solution, called Direct-to-Grower™, connects brands, manufacturers and leading cotton growers who are committed to transforming trade for good.

Need to strengthen the authenticity of the fibre origin and materials used in your fashion products?

With the Impact and Assurance Programme, we aim to shift the impact paradigm. We achieve this by collecting verified primary data in a more accurate, secure and equitable way. This data can be licensed by Sourcery Partners or third-party entities who benefit from the data when it comes to proving origin of fibre and authenticity of social and environmental impact. 

Together with our Partners, we bring visibility and trust to the cotton value chain

Sourcery is a member-driven global sourcing solution that connects brands, manufacturers and growers to secure and transact fibre, yarn and fabric with full transparency, traceability and verified impact.

Our Approach

We are guided by three programmatic principles of inclusivity, impartiality and verified impact in everything we do.

Direct-to-Grower™ Solutions

Available to all licensed Commercial Partners, the Direct-to-Grower™ Programme includes three interconnected service pillars of Trade Facilitation, Impact and Assurance and Impact Finance that enable more transparent, fair and efficient trade:

  • Our transformative sourcing solution and trade methodology that enables transparent, fair and efficient transactions on fibre, yarn and fabric that are fully traceable from grower to retailer.

  • Verified commercial and environmental primary data that is meaningful, measurable, equitable and secure. Powered by Bluenumber®

  • Impact and structured finance to leverage the full commercial and trade benefits of Direct-to-Grower™ by securing supply, reducing risks and mitigating costs.

Transforming trade, together

We believe sustainability is a natural byproduct or output of better business and trade

  • Secured Supply/Demand

    By using principles of lean manufacturing we effectively align demand with supply at every stage of production from fibre to finished goods.

  • Transactional Traceability

    Third-party verified transactions ensure origin, quality, integrity, processing, and chain-of-custody from grower to retailer.

  • Verified Impact

    Sourcery collects verified primary data on all growers, everywhere. This ensures that individual growers are recognised and rewarded.
