Social & sustainable value chains

Global supply chains face growing ESG risks that threaten business resilience and stakeholder trust. Issues such as human rights violations, lack of diversity, inadequate living wages, climate change, water scarcity, and unethical sourcing practices are no longer optional considerations—they are critical to long-term success.

Sustainability is about creating enduring value for all stakeholders by managing these risks and capturing opportunities across social, environmental, and economic dimensions. This value is shaped not only within your own operations but across your entire value chain. Organisations that fail to act face increasing compliance pressures, reputational damage, and operational disruption.

At Forvis Mazars, we help you embed responsible value chain practices that align with global standards and stakeholder expectations. Our approach combines strategic insight, risk management, and practical implementation, enabling you to strengthen resilience and demonstrate accountability. We work with internationally recognised frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, ensuring your supply chain meets regulatory requirements and supports sustainable growth.
