Partner Principles

Transparency, efficiency and trust define the Direct-to-Grower™ approach to trade — inclusivity, impact and equity are foundational to ensuring the transformation of trade for good.

Transparent

Partners are committed to transparency that is built on open communication, shared accountability and responsibility—bringing more value and profit to business rather cost and risk.

Efficient

Partners aim to collectively identify and actively mitigate unnecessary transactional complexity, costs and administration that exists within traditional trade—accelerating deal flow and profitability.

Trust

Trust in trade is everything. Partners aim to build mutual and lasting trust between and among each other by building and upholding a transparent, safe and rewarding trading environment that benefits everyone.

Inclusive

Partners are inclusive of all who are committed to transforming of trade for good. This includes growers, manufacturer, traders and brands regardless of their size, location, products or certification.

‘All growers, Everywhere.’

Impact

Partners are committed relying only on the collection and verification of empirical and scientific primary transactional and impact data that delivers more meaningful, measurable and equitable outcomes.

Equity

All Partners are recognized and rewarded individually for their commitment to commercial, social and environmental excellence in trade and collectively, as shareholders, in the transformation of trade for good.

“Why try to beat the competition

when you can

rewrite the rules.”

What We Transform

Infographic comparing traditional commodity trade with direct trade, showing terms like volatile, fragmented, push-based, opaque, high risk/waste, and image on one side, with direct trade, harmonized network, pull-based, transparent, efficient, and impact on the other side. Source logo and title "Sourcery" displayed at the top.

The existing push-based system of traditional commodity trade is unnecessarily complex and fragmented and not set up to enable transparency, traceability and impact at scale that is needed for the future of fibre, food, timber minerals.

To transform trade for good, deep engagement, collaboration and commercial intervention combined with digitalisation of trade through Connect Platform will enables the entire supply chain to shift to a more agile ‘pull-based’ trade system of trade that is more transparent, fair and efficient and far more profitable.

Beyond Blockchain

We are serious about data security, privacy, compliance and ownership—your data is your business.

Connect was built using the most advanced data standards, compliance and security protocols available ensuring that all transaction data, documents and information is encrypted end-to-end—at rest when stored in the Personal Data Vault (PDV) and in transit when transmitting data, images and sending text messages between Partners.

Connect ensures our Partners have full control over who, where and how their data can be accessed, shared and used, including with employees, contractors, agents, vendors and clients, and Sourcery.
