A new approach to drive win-win partnerships that ensure better outcomes for the underlying ecosystem and minimize zero-sum game situations.
Existing market systems for sustainable agri-food do not allow conscious buyers and responsible producers to derive value from each other’s sustainability preferences and efforts. Aceworx is working to change this through its middleware solutions (marketplaces, supply chain services, financing, technological systems, multi-stakeholder networks). These not only enable a wide range of choice to producers(and supporting stakeholders) in terms of responsible agri-food production and supply chain systems but also deliver a suite of options for conscious buyers to choose from, based on their sustainability preferences and sensibilities.
Through marketplaces, financing, supply chain services, technological systems and multi stakeholder networks, AceWorx intends to bring in the missing middleware thus acting as a much needed bridge in the Agri-Food ecosystem.
Our values guide the way we behave and steward the direction of Aceworx
We commit ourselves to making markets work for responsible smallholders while we support them in generating higher value for conscious buyers. Furthermore, we adopt the dual responsibility of serving as an integrator and as a trustee of agri-food ecosystems to unlock latent value for consumers and producers, uphold respect for human dignity, promote shared prosperity among stakeholders, contribute positively to natural capital and thereby create scalable impact for the society in an ecologically and socio-economically responsible way. We strive to champion ESG (environment, social, governance) standards not only in our operations but also in our overarching role as an ecosystem integrator.
We are driven by the mission to be a ‘bellwether’ agri-food enterprise working to address the problem of ‘Missing Middle’ in the sustainable agri-food ecosystems around the world. We are cognizant of our vital role in harmonizing interests of diverse stakeholders to improve availability of sustainably produced, ethically sourced and responsibly handled agri-food products. Our role focuses on effectively fulfilling the demands of the global communities of conscious buyers who are committed to the well-being of our natural systems, farming communities and the larger human society.
We value our partnerships with a diverse set of stakeholders and believe that we represent the shared interests of partners in our agri-food ecosystems. We will treat our success and achievements as the outcome of the collective, aligned endeavours of stakeholders playing their required roles effectively. Our pursuit of excellence will be guided always by the tacit knowledge, domain expertise and contextual wisdom of our ecosystem partners. We strive to uphold the value of humility, mutual respect and human dignity even when certain situations call for honest and forthright communication with our internal and external stakeholders. It is our responsibility to stand by our core principles and ethos resolutely even when it may be uncomfortable to do so.
We embody cooperation, coordination, fairness and responsibility in dealings with the stakeholders of the agri-food ecosystems we operate in. As an enabling ecosystem integrator, we strive to engage and collaborate with our ecosystem partners for tackling both emergent and extant challenges which hinder the effective functioning of the ecosystem especially with regards to efficiency, productivity, integrity, inclusivity and resilience of the agri-food value chains and the communities we deal with.
