The First ESG Supply Chain Solution Made for Complex Manufacturers
A shallow approach to ESG is no longer enough. For true supply chain sustainability you have to go all the way down to your suppliers’ suppliers.
Complex Manufacturers Face The Toughest ESG Challenges
Complex manufacturers have extended global supply chains with little transparency beyond the direct supplier level. ESG is so broad it can seem overwhelming, and it impacts:
- Investor and customer confidence
- Market access
- Reputation among customers and employees
- Revenue
“An ESG rating tells you about a company’s comparative, values and behaviours both in the company and in the supply chain. The world has changed – people are caring about the environment more, sustainability more, climate change, human rights and equity. These are really big topics for most of the world. ESG is the term we are using to share that information and compare companies on those topics.”
– Andrew Waitman, CEO at Assent
Supply Chain ESG Protects Against Revenue Risks
Increasing investor, customer, and stakeholder ESG demands mean a single piece of bad data can put your revenue and reputation at risk. Worse, one part can put multiple product lines at risk.
