ESG Compliance and Supply Chain Risk Management
Mitigate risks, meet regulations, and improve sustainability across supply chain.
Enhancing Compliance While Building Resilience
In an increasingly complex and regulated global landscape, procurement leaders face growing pressure to balance performance, compliance, and resilience. From climate risks and geopolitical instability to tightening ESG regulations, the risks impacting supply chains are more interconnected than ever. In our ESG Compliance and Supply Chain Risk Management programmes, we offer a comprehensive suite of services designed to strengthen risk management across every layer of procurement. Our approach helps you stay ahead of emerging risks, meet regulatory demands, and build long-term supply chain resilience.
Risk Maturity Assessment
To help you identify the current maturity level of procurement function’s focus on risk and resilience, we support you by conducting a comprehensive risk maturity assessment. Using our 15M methodology, we identify strengths and uncover areas for improvement in how operational, financial, supply chain and sustainability risks are managed, creating a clear risk transformation roadmap that tackles the risks embedded in each procurement layer.
Regulatory Guidance
Our regulatory guidance helps companies navigate frameworks like CSRD, the German Supply Chain Act (LkSG), CS3D, CBAM, and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). We support the setup of risk management systems, define compliance responsibilities, and guide the issuance of clear policy commitments. By conducting risk analyses, implementing preventive and remedial measures, and establishing complaints procedures, we ensure due diligence is both effective and actionable. For EUDR, we help clients establish traceability to plot-level geolocation data, assess deforestation risks, and secure compliance at the product level. With strong documentation and reporting practices, our approach covers the full value chain—upstream and downstream—leaving no blind spots in sustainability compliance.
“Think Strategically, think responsibly.”
Supply Chain Risk Management Transformation and Operating Model
Grounded in the 15M maturity model, we redesign procurement operating models to embed risk ownership where it matters most. Governance structures are clarified to ensure each strategic pillar addresses its role from prequalifying suppliers and improving risk scoring (SP2 & SP3) to integrating ESG criteria into digital processes and reporting (SP4). Our approach connects strategy with execution, supported by change management and training. The result is a streamlined, data-enabled risk management model that improves transparency, supports compliance, and builds long-term supply chain resilience.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation Strategies
Risk assessment and mitigation strategies are essential for building organizational resilience especially in the face of staying ahead of evolving regulatory frameworks such as CSRD and CBAM. We support organizations in identifying key procurement risks at the category and supplier level, and train category managers to develop and apply effective risk mitigation strategies. This includes a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks across the supply chain, supported by governance frameworks, supplier audits, and resilience strategies, ensuring that compliance efforts are not only thorough but also actionable across the full value chain.
Why ESG compliance and SCRM Matters
Supply chains are facing unprecedented challenges, from climate-related disruptions to geopolitical tensions and regulatory complexity. In this context, risk management and compliance are the cornerstones of supply chain resilience. They allow organizations to see further, act faster, avoid exposing themselves to costly non-compliance penalties, and adapt to disruptions with confidence. By embedding these practices into procurement, businesses can move from reactive firefighting to strategic foresight, transforming risk into resilience and compliance into a foundation for sustainable growth.
