Supplier engagement
We will support you with supplier engagement through the use of our technology, offering a SaaS platform that enables suppliers to easily share the data you require to support your organisation’s sustainability targets. The pragmatic and collaborative approach delivers mutual benefits for your company and your suppliers; giving you the required information and providing your suppliers with feedback on how to improve. Our team can help you define an approach to embed the technology into your supply chain due diligence process seamlessly and at scale.
Our services include:
- Carrying out comprehensive, risk-based, supply chain due diligence using a technology platform, coupled with consultancy services to fully embed the tool into your supply chain management systems;
- Risk assessments of suppliers based on comprehensive third-party assessments.
- Mapping your supply chain from Tier-1 to Tier-N;
- Collecting Scope 3 GHG emission data from suppliers, minimising your reliance on spend and proxy data;
- Providing access to analytics dashboards enabling you to quickly and easily identify risks;
- Conducting data validation, to ensure decisions are based on complete and accurate data;
- Providing end-to-end support for suppliers;
- Issuing supplier improvement plans to suppliers, directly via the platform;
- Implementing an API to bring risk data directly into your internal systems.
