Responsibly plays an important role in data accessibility and reaching our targets for improvement. Their way of sourcing data is unique and it enables us to bring sustainability in every conversation.
The challenge
Novonesis faced significant hurdles in understanding and improving sustainability across their supply chain.
- Supply chain sustainability and compliance was a black box, and procurement did not know which standards to accept from suppliers.
- Significant resources were spent researching and engaging a small number of suppliers.
- Suppliers did not want to pay to provide ESG data or spend effort when data was already disclosed publicly.
The Objective
- Significantly improve supply chain sustainability to reach compliance and ESG targets.
- Scale due diligence and engagement to thousands of suppliers.
- Centralise supplier data in one transparent platform.
- Make it easy-to-use and provide transparency to both buyers and suppliers.
