Is your business expected to demonstrate progress in managing ESG risks across your supply chain? Would an ESG failure damage ... your business? • Do you know how many suppliers are in your supply chains, tier one and beyond? • What is their attitude towards responsible sourcing? • Are they committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals? • Do they have a compliant Modern Slavery Act statement and program? • Have you evaluated the full impact of your raw materials on people, planet and profit? • Do you truly know the underlying risk that your suppliers and raw materials represent, and are you aligned to the right ones on your journey towards sustainable growth? Sourcing and responsible supply chain management is increasingly a complex and nebulous task. Your customers have differing demands and drivers based on their value propositions, and it is expected that you will have all the answers at your fingertips, right? What if there were a framework that helps you map, manage and mitigate these risks, that complements your existing platforms and process, enhancing it with real-time ESG data and insight? Offering insights across the areas that matter most, delivering improvement plans, and deployed to complement existing systems? Companies looking to start their journey towards better Responsible Sourcing, or to chart progress already made against all areas, need a common language or framework through which to articulate outcomes. Moreover, they also need a structured approach to capturing and standardising data. This is not easy, with many companies still dependent on old world technologies to solve new world problems, with this problem multiplying down the supply chain. STAR Index delivers information that can be acted upon – ‘actionable insight’ – on the wider risks across your supply chains and investments, with an overview of policies, commitments, and engagement across the areas that matter the most. read more
