Why companies partner with ANDE

Many companies find that the majority of ESG risk and opportunity sits beyond their direct operations—in supply chains, distribution networks, and product ecosystems. ANDE provides an execution-oriented platform to move from commitments to implementation.

Partners choose ANDE for:

  • Locally grounded networks and on-the-ground presence in key markets
  • A structured path to action—from diagnostics and design to pilots and scale
  • Trusted ecosystem convening, connecting corporations with SGBs, intermediaries, and Entrepreneur Support Organizations (ESOs)
  • Evidence and learning that help teams replicate what works across regions
