Customer enquiries, evidence and supplier assessments should fit together. We develop an approach that addresses relevant risks and integrates into everyday procurement.

THE STARTING POINT

Bring requirements together and make them actionable in procurement.

  • Customer requirements, regulations and internal goals are handled separately.
  • Evidence, risk assessments and actions are spread across different systems and files.
  • Suppliers face extensive questionnaires without clear priorities emerging.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOU

From requirements to traceable implementation

Clarify requirements and responsibilities

Legal requirements, customer expectations and internal goals create different tasks for procurement. We bring them together and assign them to the right processes and owners. Where necessary, we clarify the applicable legal requirements with your legal or compliance team.

Focus on the issues that matter

We consider potential impacts on people and the environment and assess relevant country, industry and supplier risks. Together, we identify where closer scrutiny is needed and what actions to take. We combine available information with your teams' expertise and collaboration with your suppliers.

Connect actions and evidence

Policies, supplier disclosures and certificates provide important information. Together, we clarify what follows: who owns an action, by when and how is progress reviewed? We structure the documentation so your team can also use it for customer enquiries and sustainability assessments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Is this only about legal requirements?

No. Customer requirements and your own sustainability goals also matter. We connect these topics with your procurement processes. Specific legal questions are addressed with your legal or compliance function.

How can we limit the workload for procurement and suppliers?

We use existing information, consolidate enquiries and define where deeper investigation is needed. This focuses subsequent work on the topics and suppliers with the greatest need for action.
