Beyond compliance

Consumer affinity for socially responsible brands has shaped the way CPG companies are leading the charge in prioritizing the sustainable procurement and supplier transparency. Leaders are going beyond brand protection and risk mitigation, and driving new business growth through innovative new sustainable product categories and business models (e.g. circular economy).

Protect Your Brand, Manage Risk

Environmental and social performance are at stake almost everyday. Choosing the right suppliers is crucial to avoid supply disruptions and regulatory drawbacks. A consistent, scalable monitoring program can minimize exposure to CSR risks.

Improve
Performance

Stakeholders’ pressure is no longer on compliance to environmental and social requirements in the supply chain. Improvement and progress on CSR/ESG performance is now the top priority. A collaborative monitoring program can help mutualise the CSR/ESG performance with your supply chain.

Reduce Costs, Drive Innovation & Growth

CPG brands need to own sustainability and transparency. It’s not enough to tweak the makeup of a core product – brands need to prove the transformation to their customers. The challenge: identifying the key suppliers to drive sustainable innovation.
