Responsible Sourcing & Supply Chain Compliance Assessment

A Responsible Sourcing and Supply Chain Compliance Assessment evaluates an organisation's procurement practices and supply chain management systems against applicable ESG, ethical sourcing, and sustainability standards — examining how the organisation selects, monitors, and manages its suppliers with respect to environmental, social, and governance considerations. The assessment covers supplier selection criteria and due diligence processes, supplier code of conduct and contractual requirements, supplier monitoring and audit programmes, grievance mechanisms for supply chain workers, and the organisation's overall approach to responsible sourcing — identifying gaps and providing recommendations for building a more robust and credible responsible sourcing programme.

It is relevant for any organisation with a complex or multi-tier supply chain — particularly those subject to buyer requirements, institutional investor scrutiny, or mandatory supply chain due diligence obligations — and provides the structured assessment needed to demonstrate responsible sourcing commitments to stakeholders.
