Transformation at Scale
Our approach is defined by deeper engagement, true collaboration (hint: sharing risk and reward) and building mutual trust in global trade for all—these are prerequisites for the transparency, impact and profitability that lead to market transformation at scale.
Built for the Trade. By the Trade.
Sourcery is a member-owned sourcing and digital trade solution that is led and owned by our Partners who are the engines of tranformation.
Partner Principles
Transparency, efficiency and trust define the Sourcery 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.”
- Chan Kim, Renée Mauborgne
How We Transform Trade
Our approach to transforming trade for good includes engaging, collaborating, and building trust. These are the building blocks of market transformation which are also pre-requisites for transparency, traceability and verified impact at scale—transforming tradea and transforming your business.
What We Transform
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 Sourcery Connect will enable the entire supply chain to shift to a more agile ‘pull-based’ trade system of trade that is more transparent, efficient and far more profitable for all from grower to consumer.
Beyond Blockchain
At Sourcery, we know that transparency and traceability aren't driven by technology alone—they are built on human relationships, communication, and mutual trust.
Too many organizations believe they can build a platform, create a blockchain database, sell it (or mandate its use), and expect to achieve meaningful outcomes. But real transparency, traceability, and impact cannot be bought or forced—they must be earned.
In an industry where knowledge, relationships, and trade channels are core to our Partners business, we built Connect to be a platform you can trust.
One that ensures traceability benefits our Partners, rather than threatening their margins, reputation, or commercial interests unlike other solutions that extract data, value and expose commercial risks.
As a member-owned sourcing and digital trade platform, we work with our Partners—before, during, and after every trade—supported by people, policies, and tools designed to scale trust and transparency without compromising the business relationships that matter most in trade.
Member Led, Member Owned
Sourcery Partners recognize that the future of trade depends on their collective leadership, investment, and shared ownership of the transformation. As a member-owned organization, Sourcery awards Equity Credits to Partners for every metric ton transacted (outbound/sales) through Sourcery Connect.
Sourcery founders have reserved up to 75% of all outstanding share equity in Sourcery for Partners to earn or through the Sourcery Equity Credit Programme and by making direct equity investments in Sourcery. 2. The Sourcery Equity Credit Programme includes a five (5) year vesting period whereby the volume traded through Sourcery can earn equity credits that are then be used to purchase and transfer in shares that can hold a value of up to $250,000 USD.

The Digital Transformation of Trade for Good.
Sourcery began as a trade facilitation and advisory services firm, supporting early Partners—brands and retailers, manufacturers, civil society organizations, certification bodies, and technology providers—in executing transactions, collecting impact data, and designing innovative finance and trade solutions.
Through this work, we developed the Sourcery Solution framework that included the Transparent Trade, Intelligent Impact, and Innovative Finance solution pillars—a comprehensive approach that empowered Partners to transform trade for good.
As our impact grew and more of the sector began adopting this approach approach, we recognized the need to scale our solutions further—beyond pilots and individual projects to entire businesses, supply chains, and eventually the broader global market reaching million of growers and having deeper impact on our industry, its people and the planet.
The Sourcery Connect platform is the digital realization of that vision—join us on our journey to transform trade for good at scale.
Accelerating Impact, Together
Impact Partners
As a commercially neutral sourcing and digital trade platform, Sourcery does not make value judgments, conduct analysis, apply scoring, generate reports, or make claims based the data captured through the Connect Platform.
Instead, we invite and enable qualified Impact Partners to work with the verified impact data captured via Connect. These trusted partners are equipped to interpret, analyze, and generate claims or reports based on their professional expertise—ensuring that all insights are credible, contextual, and independently evaluated.
This approach ensures that data remains objective and transparent, while empowering experts to turn progress into insights and actionable impact.
