Where every link in the chain
carries weight.
15 years of value chain expertise, from farm to shelf.
Supply chains are no longer just logistical pipelines — they are where your organisation’s values are truly tested. Human rights at the farm. Safety at the factory. Environmental footprint in transit. Transparency all the way to the consumer.
Consultivo has spent 15 years building the tools, frameworks, and field knowledge to help organisations manage this complexity — responsibly and with genuine impact.

Countries where we have delivered supply chain work
Your supply chain is under more scrutiny than ever before.
Regulatory pressure, brand accountability, investor expectations and community demands are converging on the supply chain. Organisations that manage this complexity well will lead. Those who don’t will be left behind — by buyers, regulators and the public alike.
Regulatory & Legal Risk
BRSR value chain, CSDDD, CBAM and supply chain due diligence laws are creating mandatory disclosure and compliance obligations for Indian organisations and their global trading partners.
Buyer & Brand Expectations
Global brands are pushing ESG requirements further upstream — to Tier 2, Tier 3 and even Tier 4 suppliers. Qualification, audit readiness and continuous performance improvement are no longer optional.
Reputational Exposure
A single incident — child labour, a fatality, an environmental violation — anywhere in the chain can cause irreversible brand damage. Visibility, verification and response readiness matter enormously.
Complexity Across Tiers
Managing ESG risk across diverse supplier types — from large manufacturers to smallholder farmers, informal SMEs and logistics providers — demands a methodology built for real-world diversity.
Data & Disclosure Gaps
Most organisations lack the systems to collect, verify and disclose supply chain ESG data with rigour. Assurance-ready data is fast becoming a boardroom imperative.
Capacity in the Chain
Compliance is unsustainable without capability. Suppliers, especially SMEs, often need handholding — training, systems development, and practical support — not just audit reports.

We don't just follow standards.
We help write them.

This places us in an extraordinarily small group of organisations globally with standard-setting credentials in supply chain sustainability.

The Regulatory Landscape
The rules are changing.
Faster than most expect.
A wave of supply chain legislation and disclosure requirements is reshaping the responsibilities of organisations and their entire value chains. Navigating this landscape requires both technical expertise and practical field knowledge. Consultivo brings both.
SEBI BRSR Value Chain Disclosures
Top 500 listed Indian companies must now disclose ESG performance of key value chain partners — including suppliers and distributors.
EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive
EU-facing companies must identify, prevent and address human rights and environmental impacts across their supply chains.
Carbon-intensive products exported to the EU now carry a carbon cost — pushing supply chain emissions accountability upstream to Indian manufacturers.
National Action Plans and international guidance are moving from voluntary to mandatory — particularly for companies operating in or sourcing from high-risk regions.
Double materiality and supply chain reporting requirements are extending disclosure obligations to non-EU companies that supply into European markets.

Supply Chain Sustainability
The supply chain has emerged as a competitive differentiator of brands across the globe. Every business model demands a resilient, robust and sustainable supply chain.
In fact, supply chain sustainability is more of a practice than a definition.
Brands and companies to incorporate business ethics, social, human rights and environmental considerations into how they do business across the world.
An ethical supply chain or a sustainable supply chain focuses on the need for corporate social responsibility, working to produce products and services in a way that treats its workers and the environment ethically.
