Our Partners

Grower Partner

Commercial, social and environmental excellence starts on the farm—where fibre supply, quality, integrity and impact begin.

Yet, most growers are not recognised and rewarded for their commercial, social and environmental excellence. They remain under-resourced, marginalized and obscured within traditional commodity trade markets.

It’s time to transform trade for good.

  • Individual growers primarily focused on sowing, growing, and harvesting and selling raw materials (raw cotton) and cotton (lint) to aggregators, co-ops, processors, merchants. May or may not own their own processing facilities.

    *Requires a minimum of one legal persons or entity and 1 hectare of owned, leased or shared crop land to join Sourcery as a Grower Partner.

  • Mulit-grower organisations such as grower co-operatives, farm groups, producer organisations, etc. that include twenty-five (25) or more growers organized under one or more legal entities, internal control management systems, etc. May or may not own/operate a processing facility.

    Processors or processing facilities that are owned by Merchants/Traders require Trade Partner membership.

Manufacture Partner

Manufacturers are the engineers and innovators behind yarn, fabric and finished goods creating more value as fibre is transformed into textiles and products that define our industry—each plays a unique and critical role in the transformation of trade for good.

Yet, most manufacturers are not recognised and rewarded for their commercial, social and environmental excellence and remain undervalued and undifferentiated in traditional fibre , yarn and most fabric markets.

It’s time to transform trade for good.

Brand Partner

Brands and retailers are the face of industry, creating the products, image and consumer experiences that define our sector—demonstrating to the world that good design, quality, integrity, and impact do matter. 

Yet, most brands and retailers have limited upstream visibility and insight into the provenance, commercial trade and environmental and social impact of fibre, yarn, and fabric to confidently stand behind the stories they tell through the products they sell.
