Protect your company’s reputation and revenue from the first time you engage with a supplier and throughout the supplier lifecycle.
With new sustainability compliance requirements, organizations must be equipped with the right technology and information to report and mitigate supplier risk.
A ProcureCon EU survey of 100 global procurement leaders found that the biggest roadblock to achieving their sustainability initiatives is staying informed with the latest ESG requirements. The impact on their operations was the second challenge.
Even with a third-party provider, companies exhaust resources to gather and report information on their suppliers' sustainability practices like waste management, human rights, diversity policies and other data needed to comply with regulations.
Companies may be liable for heavy fines for sustainability non-compliance. Fines for Corporate Sustainability Due Delligence Directive and the German Supply Chain Act are 5% and 2% of company revenue respectively. In addition, companies in California could face fines up to $500K under SB 253 for non-compliance.

The EU requires companies to be much more transparent about their human rights and environmental impacts. The CSDDD is a regulation designed to help companies identify and address sustainability-related risks from their supply chains and sourcing operations.
A regulatory reform led by the European Commission, aims to enhance non-financial reporting. It expands upon the existing Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), imposing stricter standards and seamlessly integrating sustainability into corporate governance.
This regulation requires companies with 1,000 or more employees to conduct an abstract risk analysis and perform concrete due diligence. They must also take mitigating actions and produce detailed reports on human rights impacts for both tier-1 suppliers and suppliers in deeper tiers.
Modern Slavery Acts combat human trafficking, forced labor, and exploitation. Businesses must be transparent about anti-slavery efforts. Key provisions include Modern Slavery Statements, risk assessments, and ethical practices. UK, Australia, California, France, and EU have relevant legislation.
California SB3 empowers companies with annual revenues exceeding $100 million to demonstrate their commitment to ethical sourcing by disclosing vital information about labor practices, environmental impact and sourcing strategies.
Scope 3 emissions include supply chains, transportation, and product lifecycles require transparency. Legislators in Europe, the United States, and beyond now mandate Scope 3 disclosure.
