📣 Responsibility Is the Foundation of Every Great Partnership 📣
I just published a new piece in Forbes: “The Importance Of Taking Responsibility In Strategic Partnerships,” and I wanted to take a moment to share why this topic hits so close to home.
At Source86, we’ve never believed that supply chains are just about transactions or moving goods from point A to point B. They’re about relationships—and those relationships only work when both sides take responsibility for each other’s success.
Over the years, I’ve learned that the strongest partnerships are built not just on systems, but on accountability. That means asking tough questions. Being open to feedback. Co-creating solutions. And above all, recognizing that our choices have ripple effects across entire ecosystems—from sustainability and ethical labor practices to long-term reliability and growth.
This isn’t just philosophy—it’s how we operate. It’s why we embed shared KPIs into our strategic agreements, why we’re constantly building feedback loops with our partners, and why we challenge ourselves to lead with transparency, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Responsibility isn’t about control. It’s about trust. Transparency. Visibility. And when you build partnerships on trust, they become resilient, creative, and built to last.

If this topic resonates with you, I also invite you to explore our other releases in Forbes and the news section on our site. We believe that being part of the food space means staying informed—understanding where the market is going, what trends are emerging, and using that insight to bring real, grounded decisions to the table. Because the only way to lead is by being in touch with what’s really happening out there.
So, if you’re looking for a sourcing partner who’s in it for the long haul—who takes that responsibility seriously—let’s talk. We’re always looking to build better, together.
