As supply chain due diligence becomes law and global customers expand their audit requirements, supply chain ESG management has become both a condition of doing business and a survival strategy for exporters.
With due diligence legislation such as the EU CSDDD extending to suppliers' environmental and human rights practices, systematic management of the entire supply chain is becoming a legal obligation.
Supplier ESG risks translate directly into production disruptions and delivery delays for prime contractors. Proactive management of supply chain risk is a prerequisite for stable operations.
As global customers make supply chain ESG audits a condition of business, assessment readiness increasingly determines whether companies win orders and retain key accounts.
Our framework assesses the entire supply chain, from your own operations to your suppliers, across environmental, labor and human rights dimensions.
DERI combines extensive corporate data with a proprietary assessment platform to run every stage of the supply chain assessment efficiently.
Drawing on an industry and corporate ESG database built over many years, we design due diligence frameworks tailored to each company's sector and supply chain structure.
Our proprietary platform distributes self-assessment questionnaires (SAQs) to large numbers of suppliers and consolidates the results in one place, greatly reducing the communication burden during assessments.
Based on the requirements of global regulations and initiatives such as the UNGPs, we design human rights impact assessments that reflect each company's business profile and risk structure, and support them through implementation.
We objectively assess suppliers' ESG performance against global guidelines and systematically support the entire supply chain audit process, from developing a supplier code of conduct and distributing self-assessment questionnaires (SAQs) to on-site audits of high-risk suppliers and supplier capacity-building training.
In line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the guidelines of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, we identify and assess direct and indirect human rights risks across operations and the supply chain, and help establish remediation procedures and ongoing monitoring governance to mitigate them.
Our expert consultants will propose a strategy tailored to your company's situation.
