Our Mission

100% traceable = 100% transparent = 100% trusted.
“You never change anything by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

101 Partners is a purpose-driven firm specialising in driving transformational change to bring large-scale food/beverage supply chains into the 21st Century.
Through direct investment and/or strategic advisory support, we help strengthen supply chains for existing brand-owners and build trusted supply chains for emerging brand-owners.
Our company name represents our mission and values: “101” (pronounced ‘one - oh -one’). 101 stands for:
100% Transparency
We are committed to being transparent and to collaborate with all stakeholders as one community for mutual profit and mutual benefit.
Zero Harm and Zero Carbon
We take ‘zero harm’ and ‘zero carbon’ as a baseline for supply chains to help to create a sustainable planet. We strive to build ‘carbon positive’ businesses.
Embedded within our ‘zero’ is the ‘eternal knot’ – a symbol of the intertwining of wisdom and compassion.
100% Compliance
We are committed to building and operating businesses that are not only 100% compliant with local legal requirements but also meet global human rights obligations (such as paying a living wage to all staff and ensuring “free, prior and informed consent” (‘FPIC’) of local communities for the use and/or transfer of community land).
