We are helping businesses achieve their social and environmental goals by providing a clear picture of supply chain performance.
Our Ethos
The environmental and social challenges facing businesses requires a deep understanding of the supply chain. Traceability and transparency are more important than ever.
Overcoming challenges
Data
Social, environmental and supplier data are often stored in multiple, disconnected systems.
Reporting
Creating reports takes far too much time, and they are often out-of-date by the time they are produced.
Action
Data rarely influences supply chain decisions other than reacting to risks and compliance issues.
The sustainability proposition
We connect, process and visualise data to help businesses drive supply chain sustainability. Multi-tier supplier profiling, transparency mapping and product profiling provide actionable data that can drive positive change.
