The Challenge

Product recalls, child labor and unauthorized environmental releases are issues that can present significant risk to your company. The more transparent your supply chain is, the more likely you can spot these potential risks before they impact your business. But how do you collect, store and manage performance data from large numbers of suppliers? How do you ensure your data is verifiable and leveragable so performance may be tracked and communicated over time?

Our Solution

Source Intelligence™ provides the technology necessary to efficiently undertake a comprehensive automated sustainability assessment of your suppliers.

Results are collected and analyzed through the Source Intelligence™ platform to produce a scorecard for each supplier. This scorecard shows the progress against criteria that can include environmental compliance, health & safety records, product stewardship, certifications, data destruction procedures, hazardous waste management, record keeping requirements and other elements. 

Combining these survey results with data from our sustainability data warehouse, Source Intelligence™ provides deep insights and highlights performance with or without ongoing supplier participation.

Results are displayed via an online dashboard so performance can be tracked over time. As an added benefit, you can provide suppliers access to a solutions library that identifies opportunities to improve their score.
