In an increasingly globalised world, most companies have several tiers of suppliers spanning across multiple countries and industries. Risks of modern slavery, health and safety violations and other human rights abuses are endemic across most industries and can be particularly high in specific sectors and/or countries. Customers, governments, investors and wider stakeholders are increasingly demanding companies to mitigate such risks. In addition, the sourcing, transport and manufacturing of goods rely on the use of a range of resources, which can impact the environment. In turn, external factors such as climate change, water scarcity and resource depletion can represent significant operational threats to your business. Failure to manage these external impacts can pose risks to your operations, brand image and social license to operate.
