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 including deployment of Transparent Trade and Intelligent Impact data modules.
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.

Standards, Certifications and Protocols
Connect brings your entire commodity portfolio, including both sustainable and conventional materials—into one place. Find the right partner at the right quality and price across any standard, certification, or protocol. No guesswork. No obscurity. No funny business. Just effortless trade, with transparency, traceability, assurance, and reporting built in.

Transparent and Equitable Trade.
Most chain-of-custody and traceability systems today rely on outdated, fragmented technology, heavy post-transaction paperwork, and duplicative data entry — draining resources, degrading data quality, and increasing reporting risk.
Connect fixes that by capturing chain-of-custody data in real-time during the transaction—not after—eliminating post-transaction admin, confusion, audit costs and delays.
The result: better data, lower overhead, and more time to focus on trading and growing your business.
What is a BlueBox?
BlueBoxes are the shipping containers of the data economy. Each BlueBox digital asset contains secure and standardised commercial, social and environmental data captured via the Transparent Trade and Intelligent Impact solution modules though in Connect.
Partner Data Vault (PDV): Once captured and verified*, all data is encrypted and stored in a personal and secure cloud-based system called a Partner Data Vault (PDV). Learn more.
Private & Secure: This vault is completely private and accessible only to you, the data originator. No one—not even Sourcery—can access your data without your explicit permission.
Intelligent Verification: Sourcery’s digital triangulation engine continuously cross-checks user identification, geolocation, and image metadata in real time to ensure data is accurate.
Powered by NFTs: Once verified, the data is minted as an immutable BlueBox digital asset anchored to the blockchain—making it tamper-proof and instantly interoperable. Learn more.
Monetize & Withdraw: BlueBoxes are sold via the Sourcery Exchange (SDX). When a license is sold, you receive BluePoints—a digital currency—directly into your Connect wallet, which can be withdrawn to any bank account, UPI, or transferred to other Partners.
*All primary data and meta data is digitally verified. Partners have the option to select a third-party Assurance Partner to conduct a data verification audit. Additional fees may apply.
Using Connect, Partners automatically register their land parcels, crop areas and facilities and verify each ‘Place’ prior to trading, ensuring that all transactions include traceable and verified proof of origin—anywhere in the world.
