INTERROGATEBuyers invite suppliers to complete a questionnaire and upload evidence to support their questionnaire responses. Supplier completion progress can be tracked in real time and existing questionnaire results can be viewed by buyers as suppliers share their data.
-
VERIFYOur team of compliance analysts verify that the evidence submitted by a supplier matches their questionnaire declaration. The platform highlights to both the supplier and buyer where the supplied evidence is insufficient.
-
RECOMMENDOnce a questionnaire is verified, the supplier receives their questionnaire score and customized best practice corrective actions based on their verified responses. Buyers can quickly identify potential areas of sustainability risk and exposure in their supply base and compare supplier results to identify common trends.
-
CORRECTBuyers can issue specific due dates to suppliers to confirm when they expect the corrective actions to be completed and demonstrable. The supplier can update their questionnaire at any time to demonstrate their progress.
Conflict Minerals, Cobalt and Mica compliance
Achieve supply chain transparency to verify that your materials and components are ethically sourced.
The circumstances in which raw materials are extracted, refined and handled within the supply chain are often unclear. This puts companies and their consumers at risk of being involved in mineral supply chains originating in conflict-affected and high-risk areas that can include serious human rights violations.
The standardized Conflict Minerals and Extended Minerals Reporting Templates (CMRT & EMRT), created and maintained by the Responsible Minerals Initiative, are included in SAQ 5.0, the globally recognized standard to manage sustainability performance in the supply chain.
