Our Work
Ralph Lauren
“Ralph Lauren has always been about heritage and ensuring that the materials it uses are not only high quality, but also sustainable. Partnering with Sourcery, we learned what it takes to truly go upstream by working closely with our upstream supply chain partners in way that we never have before—we took an iconic product and converted it from conventional to organic cotton for the first time without it negatively impacting our margins.”
- Megan Meiklejohn, Manager Product Sustainability, Ralph Lauren (former)
Armed Angels
“For us, it is not about having the next fancy project to talk about in marketing. For us, it is about making a real difference. By digging deep. By taking the time to listen and to learn. By never accepting the status quo, but by always pushing further. And this is what we are aiming to do with Sourcery as well. We want to explore new fibers, new regions, new levels of transparency. And we are super excited for it.”
- Julia Aruni Kirschner, Impact & Innovation Director at ARMEDANGELS
Etam
“As a French brand, we are committed to sourcing more sustainable fibre and cotton and wanted to ensure the authenticity, integrity and transparency of supply that goes far beyond what traditional standards in the sector allow. We engaged Sourcery to source our cotton directly from farmers and gained insights about the growing, processing and cotton that positively changed how we think, plan and procure our products.”
- Hadrien Mouton, Global Sourcing Directeur
TAL Apparel
“Few organizations can bridge commercial and sustainability priorities as seamlessly as Sourcery—earning the trust of our buying, sales and sustainability teams. Working with their team, we saw for the first time how our finished products translated into both commercial value and measurable impact upstream across fabric, yarn, and fibre—brought to life through Sourcery’s pioneering Direct-to-Grower Solution. “
- Matthew Gunther, Vice President of Corporate Sustainability
FibreTrace
“We engaged Sourcery co-founder Crispin Argento, to serve fractionally as our Chief Operations Officer (COO) during the early stageof our company. He helped us develop the practical and scalable strategy, operations flows and go-to-market approaches that helped us understand and align to brands, suppliers needs and demonstrate to the sector that physical traceability is truly only possible with a forensic technology like ours.”
- Shannon Mercer, CEO
Better Cotton
“We engaged Sourcery to better understand the acute challenges faced by licenced farmers and our members when it comes to ensuring chain-of-custody from the farm to the gin within small holder regions of India, Pakistan and China. The report helped us to better understand the commercial realities faced by farmers, middle man and gins and gave us insights on how we can improve first mile traceability in the future.”
