Sustainable and ethical sourcing is more than just a ‘nice thought’, it can be used to tap into new market opportunities, ensure the long-term survival of your products and gain competitive advantage.Our expertise lies in three key areas:

  • Sustainable supply chains
  • Ethical trading
  • Climate change

SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS

Faced with greater competition and limited resources, only companies with innovative and progressive sourcing strategies will be the best placed to secure their raw materials and products in the future. Whether you are manufacturing consumer-facing products or offering business-to-business services, Source can work with you to develop and deliver sustainable supply chains—helping you to drive continuous improvement in your social, environmental and economic performance.

SOURCING YOUR PRODUCTS

Consumer demand for ethically traded, traceable and sustainable products means that businesses are having to rethink their relationships with suppliers. We can work with you to develop and implement an innovative sourcing strategy, which meets your needs on volume, value and quality.

Whatever the product, we can work alongside your buying departments to deliver on the latest social and environmental requirements from the ‘ethical’ arena, as well as engaging with your key suppliers to drive sustainable practices. We will identify challenges and areas for improvement, focus on developing solutions and mobilise partner organisations to deliver results.

CLIMATE CHANGE PRODUCTS

Climate change has become an integral component of ethical sourcing and sustainable supply chains, particularly in agriculture. Identifying business drivers and linking sustainability to branding opportunities is something that any company working in agriculture should be looking at.

Source can help you develop partnerships with an extensive network of leading international conservation and environmental organisations and align your business to specific conservation initiatives, including land management, sustainable agriculture and avoided deforestation.

We can also use market incentives such as voluntary carbon offsets and payment for ecosystem services and integrate these within the core of your products.
