New Future(s). Deeper Impact.
Commitments
Nominate specific raw materials and producers—specified by origin, product type, quantity, and quality measurable impact criteria with full physical traceability.
Structured as direct over-the-counter (OTC) forward contracts, Commitments give Partners a smarter and more secure way to nominate and transact future supply—bringing together producers, traders, manufacturers and brands to co-create transparent, trusted, and reliable supply chains from producer to consumer.
-
A Vertical Commitment is a multi-tier OTC smart forward contract connecting a Brand or Tier 1/2 Manufacturer with upstream Producer, Manufacturer, and Trade Partners—enabling the nomination of preferred suppliers and products across tiers leading to mitigated risk and ensuring physical traceability that can deliver more impact at scale.
Digitally interlinked and automated, it ensures transparency, timely fulfillment, and alignment on commercial terms, chain-of-custody and impact data, and ESG goals—helping to de-risk supply chains and foster long-term, trusted relationships from producer to brand.
-
A Horizontal Commitment is a single-tier OTC forward contract formed between two or more Tier 2 or Tier 3 Manufacturer or Trade Partners who choose to jointly procure commodities or products to better manage their risk, ensuring physical traceability and jointly deliver more impact, together.
These digitally interlinked and automated frame agreements define shared commercial terms, product quality, chain-of-custody requirements, impact data, and ESG goals—anchored in collective future purchase intent.
Horizontal Commitments can also exist within a Vertical Commitment structure, where multiple Partners at the same tier consolidate or aggregate sourcing through Connect—independently or on behalf of a Nominating Partner (such as a Brand).
How Commitments Work
Initiated by Brand or Manufacturer Partners, as Nominating Partner(s), Commitments align upstream supply with downstream demand —creating reliable and resilient supply chains built on transparency and trust from producer to consumer.
Step 1: Planning – Set goals, identify needs, define product specifications, pricing, volumes and replenishment cycles and impact requirements.
Step 2: Engagement – Using Connect, engage producers and upstream manufacturers aligned with those goals.
Step 3: Commitment – Finalise Commitment Agreements via Connect to contract quantity, quality, price, financing, logistics, transparency and impact outcomes.
Step 4: Production (see below) - Throughout the process, Sourcery Engagement Professionals provide hands-on guidance and support for each Partner — ensuring clear communication, seamless sourcing coordination, and effective transaction and risk management — to drive positive outcomes across the entire value chain, from producer to consumer.
Commitments require Plus or Pro membership in Sourcery. Let us know and we can show you how to transform the future of trade for good. Learn more.

Transparent and Equitable Trade.
Transparent Trade Bluechip digital data asset with Connect Trade feature.
Capture all transaction data and documentation in real time as you trade. Most chain-of-custody and traceability systems today rely on outdated software, heavy paperwork management and duplicative data entry and admin that drain resources and undermine data quality.
Connect fixes that by capturing chain-of-custody data during the transaction—not after—it eliminates post-transaction admin altogether.
The result: better data, lower overhead, and more time to focus on growing your business.
What is a Bluechip?
Bluechips are the shipping containers of the data economy—secure, standardized, and built to move verified information across systems, partners, and platforms. Each Bluechip represents a unique, traceable, and transferable digital asset that captures commercial, environmental, and social performance tied to a real-world transaction via Connect.
Primary Data: Each Bluechip is built from first-party evidence: survey data, documents, images, sensor feeds and other records captured directly from producers and supply chain actors.
Intelligent Verification: Sourcery’s digital triangulation engine continuously cross-checks user identification, geolocation, data, document and image metadata in real time ensuring that data is accurate and verified.
Powered by NFTs: Once data is verified, a Bluechip data asset can minted as a non-fungible token and immutably anchored to blockchain — making it tamper-proof, uniquely identifiable and instantly interoperable across digital systems.
Transferable + Tradable: Bluechips assets can be bought, sold, transferred or held via the Bluechip Exchange (BCX) — unlocking new commercial value and profitability for data originators and owners.
Real-Time Traceability
Focus on trading, not compliance. Sourcery Connect is the only platform that delivers real-time, real-world traceability as you trade—eliminating post-transaction admin, paperwork, data entry and delays.
