Connecting products with suppliers
Connect products with suppliers, collect different types of product data - such as certifications and country of origin - and conduct product-level risk assessments.
ESG Due Diligence - Product assessment
Get a clear risk overview of your entire value chain
When product and supplier assessment are combined, the risks become clear, and you can act where it makes the most difference - for a more sustainable value chain.
Support for compliance
Get a clear due diligence process in a common platform that simplifies work and makes compliance, such as EUDR and CBAM, a natural part of how you work.
Clear accountability
Demonstrate to customers and stakeholders that risks are actively managed and responsibilities are clear - through documented and traceable work.
Phase 1
Establish the foundation
Build the structural foundation for product due diligence by setting up the relationships, collecting the data and conducting the risk assessments needed to begin operating at product level.
- Map supplier-product relationships so that product insights are tied to the right supplier context.
- Manage key product data and risks connected to products.
- Conduct manual risk assessments to identify high-risk products early.
Phase 2
Insights & Traceability
Enable the connections needed to track, document and demonstrate product risk, conduct assessments across product portfolios, and respond to evolving regulatory requirements.
- Integrate with other systems for efficient product and supplier data exchange without manual handling.
- Structure product data with configurable datasets for different use cases.
- Visualize multi-tier supply chains for upstream traceability and clearer insight into product and supplier dependencies.
- Maintain a full audit trail of product assessments so due diligence steps can be traced and reviewed for compliance purposes.
Phase 3
Automate & Scale
Automate key due diligence tasks to reduce manual effort and conduct product risk assessments with the consistency and traceability needed to support different compliance requirements.
- Automate risk scoring to reduce manual effort, and ensure consistent and comparable assessments across products.
- Work more efficiently with multiple regulatory requirements by using enhanced and expanded product due diligence capabilities.
Make compliance a natural part of the process
Many regulations place increasing demands on control over products, materials, and supply chains. With structured product assessment, it becomes easier to gather the right documentation, strengthen traceability, and support compliance work. Here are some examples of relevant regulations:
EUDR
EU Deforestation Regulation requires companies to demonstrate that certain raw materials and products do not contribute to deforestation. It increases demands for traceability, risk assessment, and documentation.
CBAM
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is the EU's mechanism for carbon pricing on imports of certain goods. The regulation aims to manage embedded emissions and requires reporting of climate impact.
EUFLR
EU Forced Labour Regulation aims to prohibit products linked to forced labour from the EU market. It increases requirements for insight, risk management, and controls within the supply chain.
DPP
Digital Product Passport is intended to make information about a product's content, origin, and sustainability more accessible. The aim is to strengthen transparency, circularity, and more informed choices.
REACH
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals is the EU's chemicals legislation. It regulates chemical substances in products and materials to protect human health and the environment.
PPWR
Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation is the EU's regulation on packaging and packaging waste. It aims to reduce waste, promote circularity, and set clearer requirements for the design of packaging.
