ESG & Ethics at TenderSoko

At TenderSoko, our mission goes beyond connecting suppliers and buyers. We are redefining procurement to be transparent, inclusive, and sustainable — guided by strong ESG values and ethical principles.

Our ESG Commitment

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles are embedded in how we operate, partner, and grow. For TenderSoko, ESG is not an external expectation — it’s a core belief. We understand that procurement has a profound influence on economies and communities, and our commitment is to use that influence responsibly.

Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to driving sustainable procurement. TenderSoko promotes tenders that focus on renewable energy, clean water, and sustainable agriculture. Our digital-first approach also minimizes carbon footprints by reducing paper-based systems.

Through green tenders, we help governments and companies contribute to national climate goals and global sustainability targets.

Social Inclusion

Procurement should empower, not exclude. We champion access for SMEs, women-owned businesses, youth, and persons with disabilities. Our work aligns with Kenya’s AGPO program — ensuring that reserved procurement opportunities reach those who need them most.

We believe inclusion is the foundation of equitable growth and a more resilient economy.

Governance & Accountability

We adhere to the highest standards of transparency and fairness. All tenders published on our platform are accessible equally to all users, ensuring open competition and integrity in procurement.

Our governance framework is anchored in accountability — with zero tolerance for corruption, favoritism, or manipulation of listings.

Ethics at TenderSoko

Ethics is the foundation of our brand. It is the daily practice of doing what is right — even when no one is watching. In the procurement world, ethics means integrity, honesty, and fairness in every interaction. At TenderSoko, we live by these principles to protect the trust of our clients and partners.

Transparency & Fairness

We believe transparency is the true measure of integrity. All tenders are listed clearly, with equal visibility to all registered users. We do not favor any entity, ensuring that startups, SMEs, and established corporations compete on merit.

This transparency strengthens public trust and fosters a healthy, competitive procurement environment.

Integrity & Anti-Corruption

Corruption undermines progress and destroys public confidence. We enforce a zero-tolerance stance on bribery and manipulation. Every listing is subject to internal review and digital audit trails to ensure compliance and authenticity.

Integrity isn’t optional — it is central to how we operate, from our technology to our people.

Data Privacy & Digital Ethics

In today’s digital economy, ethics extends to how we handle information. We respect user privacy under the Kenya Data Protection Act and the EU’s GDPR framework. Our platform employs strong encryption and secure data storage to protect user information.

Trust is the currency of the digital age — and we safeguard it diligently.

Our Commitment

ESG gives us the framework. Ethics gives us the foundation. Together, they guide our vision for a procurement ecosystem that is sustainable, inclusive, transparent, and accountable. At TenderSoko, we believe procurement is not just a business function — it is a tool for social and economic transformation.
