IDH – SourceUp
Global
What is it?
The IDH – Sustainable Trade Initiative convenes, co-creates, and co-finances inclusive and sustainable solutions that enable people in business, investment, and government to create value for people and the planet.
The IDH brings public-private stakeholders together, building trust, aligning different interests, and creating a common language and understanding of the most pressing sustainability issues in a sector or a region.
What is it?
SourceUp is an online platform that connects buyers and other stakeholders in agri-commodity supply chains with landscape and jurisdictional initiatives in production areas. Through the platform, buyers can identify investment opportunities and engage with landscape initiatives that match their priority commodities and sustainability targets.
SourceUp showcases the efforts of local stakeholders in producing regions to come together to work on sustainability, a collaborative effort called a ‘Landscape Initiative’.
A Landscape Initiative has the power to transform agricultural production systems far beyond what individual producers, local governments, civil society organizations or traders can do alone.
Any convening organization that manages a Landscape initiative can have a profile on the platform and put its landscape on the map.
SourceUp also identifies these initiatives for a range of commodities, including soy, oil palm, wheat, and maize, their location, and sustainability themes (e.g., forests and natural ecosystems, labor, etc.,).
