Why use Origin
Monitoring supply chain risk is complex and multi-faceted. Businesses operating across different sectors rely on complicated multi-tier supply chains, necessitating the need to meet numerous due diligence requirements. Many risks are beyond immediate control, with social, environmental and governance challenges requiring in-depth knowledge and understanding of supply chain specifics.
Businesses must take tangible steps to become more sustainable, with supply chains having a central role.
Sustainable supply chains use resources efficiently, avoid present and future regulation costs and improve reputation.
Poor sustainability management negatively impacts growth and profitability and carries the risk of fines, restricted market access, and the potential for lawsuits.
Robust due diligence requires continuous monitoring to assess supplier performance and guard against social, environmental and governance issues.
Disconnected data sources can make it challenging to integrate the data and develop a comprehensive view of the supply chain. This can lead to fragmented insights and limited visibility into the supply chain risks.
Gathering data can be time-consuming, particularly when operating in multiple regions, with data often incomplete or outdated, making it challenging to report on sustainability performance accurately.
Many companies don't have visibility into their supply chains, making it difficult to proactively identify risks and compliance issues due to factors such as the lack of information on suppliers or inadequate supply chain management systems.
