Supporting companies in moving from requirements to a structured, risk-based approach
During 2026, we have supported several companies in strengthening their sustainability due diligence processes in the supply chain. A common driver has been increasingly demanding sustainability requirements in public procurement, including the need to demonstrate systematic supplier due diligence and address identified non-conformities.
Our support has focused on helping companies translate these requirements into a practical and risk-based way of working.
Depending on the company’s starting point and needs, our work has included:
- reviewing existing supply chain due diligence processes and documentation
- mapping suppliers and supply chains to improve visibility
- identifying and assessing sustainability risks based on factors such as product category, geography and supply chain characteristics
- developing supplier questionnaires and other tools for collecting relevant information
- helping companies prioritise where deeper assessment and follow-up are needed
- reviewing policies, procedures and supporting documentation
- supporting corrective actions to address identified gaps and non-conformities
- strengthening documentation to demonstrate a systematic approach to sustainability due diligence
A key part of the work has been to avoid treating all suppliers and risks in the same way. Instead, we help companies establish a proportionate, risk-based approach, where resources and follow-up are focused on the areas where potential sustainability risks are greatest.
The result: a more structured and manageable process for supply chain due diligence that helps companies respond to customer and public procurement requirements while also building a stronger foundation for ongoing sustainability risk management.
